Cynthia Turner

Walking into a first session with Cynthia Turner, clients often sense quickly that they are not here to be analyzed from a distance — they are here to get to work. Cynthia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Ashburn, Virginia, who believes that real change happens when self-awareness leads somewhere concrete. That philosophy shapes everything about her practice at Insight Into Action Therapy, where the name itself is the mission.

She works with children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges: addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or screens; mood, anxiety, and personality disorders; trauma and abuse; eating and impulse-control struggles; and career transitions or professional burnout. For adolescents who can barely sit through dinner without checking their phones, or parents who feel like they are parenting around a device rather than a child, that entry point into treatment is met without judgment and with clear clinical structure. Cynthia also provides psychological testing, DSM-5 diagnosis and treatment, and crisis intervention, and offers sessions online.

Insight Into Action Therapy is built as a single destination for the whole family — so a parent in couples counseling, a child in play therapy, and someone managing a psychiatric medication can all be supported under one roof. The goal, as Cynthia frames it, is straightforward: help people become the healthiest version of themselves.
