Ms Cynthia Lackner, MA

Psychotherapist

“I teach tools of Emotional Brain Training which rewires the brain circuitry that drives addiction, anxiety, and depression.”

About Me

I help clients understand and reshape the brain patterns that fuel addiction, anxiety, and depression. Through Emotional Brain Training, we work together to build new neural pathways, offering practical ways to manage challenging emotions. This approach is ideal for those seeking a clear, science-backed method to address persistent emotional struggles. My aim is to empower you with lasting skills for greater emotional freedom and well-being.

Approach

What that looks like is a practical, stepwise practice that shifts how your nervous system responds to triggers, focusing on small, repeatable exercises rather than long explanations. In Denver I offer English-language sessions in person and online, adapting pacing to adolescents, adults, parents, and families so work fits school and work rhythms. Sessions alternate brief, focused skills practice with reflection and short between-session exercises that strengthen new responses; I use simple markers so you can see progress. This way tends to suit people who want concrete habits to reduce cravings, reactivity, and self-criticism.
