Dr. Cynthia Yamokoski , OH Psychologist P.6572

Dr. Cynthia Yamokoski is an Ohio psychologist with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and sleep or eating concerns. She also supports people facing career strain, parenting stress, LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to military or first responder experiences.

She focuses on straightforward, time-limited methods that have evidence behind them. Sessions start with clear explanations of options and a shared decision about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches are used to target symptoms and teach practical coping skills.

Her work includes treatment for panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, dissociation, and problems that follow natural or human-caused disasters. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, anger, guilt and shame, and substance use issues. The emphasis is on setting reachable goals and practicing new skills between sessions.

Dr. Yamokoski draws on clinical and research experience with survivors of sexual trauma, serious accidents, combat and first responder trauma. She describes the process as collaborative and direct, with clients informed about what to expect from specific therapies before starting.

People can expect practical tools, structured sessions, and a focus on returning to daily routines. Her communication style aims to be clear and respectful while helping people rebuild stability and purpose.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy Help Online

Two approaches guide much of her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely processing traumatic memories and reducing trauma-related symptoms, and it is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and related reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explain the methods, discuss goals, and recommend an approach based on each person’s needs and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fewer barriers to attending sessions during a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to fit brief check-ins around work or caregiving, and it can reduce travel time. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals generally adapt treatment activities and homework to fit remote sessions and everyday routines.
