Cybele Blood, UT LCSW 8926508-3501

Hi, I’m an LCSW therapist with 15 years of clinical psychotherapy practice and a massage therapy practice before that. I've been caring about people's health and wellness for a long time. I work hard to offer excellent therapy services to every client. You should feel heard and honored your sessions, with a good balance of supportive therapeutic presence and structured therapeutic work. We will build rapport together and use evidence-based treatments to best serve your needs. Together we will build your coping and life skills toolbox and create your best future.

I enjoy assisting people with a variety of issues including anxiety, work stress, life transitions, depression, and communication skills, among others. I find it very rewarding providing support for other professionals in health care fields. I have specialty training to support traumatic grief and bereavement. You will also find me very well-trained in many therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, somatic work, several trauma-focused approaches, mindfulness, depth therapy, Gottman Method, IFS, and more. I am a bit of a unicorn in that I am studied in female phenotype high-masking autism. I'd like assist you in being kinder to yourself and having your life feeling and functioning better than when you start working with me.

I will say up front that I do not think significant suicidality and BetterHelp are a good clinical fit. I have worked with many many suicidal clients and even spent years working in psych hospitals, day treatment, and IOPs, but on this platform I won't be able to take on clients who are facing significant safety challenges of suicidal ideation or self harm. I would encourage you to find in-person therapy resources or local therapy practices.

Respecting diversity and understanding social justice is very important to me, and I strive to be culturally competent for a range of client backgrounds. I lived in a lot of places in the US and bring a lot of NYC and LA flavor to sessions, yet I have worked to understand Utahn cultures. I work with a lot of people in the kink, ENM/poly, and social activist communities, yet also a fair amount of quite conservative Utahns. I definitely work with a lot of people who identify as LGBTQ+.

I look forward to meeting you. Please know that online therapy can be hugely effective for you. Let’s get started.
