Getting to know Cinthya Yaptangco

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California. I specialize in working with women who are navigating mild depression, stress, and anxiety. Through secure and convenient telehealth sessions, I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps forward. My approach My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Behavioral Activation. This means we’ll work collaboratively to explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, identify what’s holding you back, and build practical tools to help you start feeling better and more in control of your life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or just not like yourself lately, know that you're not alone, and change. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for women who may be dealing with challenges and life transitions. This often takes the form of depression, anxiety, and stress. I work to help clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is positive, engaging, and personable—I want you to feel comfortable talking to me about anything. I pride myself on listening with empathy and without judgment, creating a space where you can be fully yourself. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to helping others, whether it was serving as a peer counselor in school, volunteering in my community, or simply being a trusted and loyal friend. Supporting people through tough times has always come naturally to me. I find deep fulfillment in watching individuals grow, heal, and become the best versions of themselves. That passion is what led me to pursue a career in social work and therapy, and it continues to guide the work I do with every client.
