Background and approach
Cindy focuses on helping individuals find practical ways forward and feel more grounded day to day. Cindy blends several approaches to fit each person's needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused and client-centered ideas guide warm, respectful conversations about feelings and relationships. Sessions aim to be interactive and goal-oriented.
Cindy combines short-term strategies for immediate relief with longer conversations about meaning, values, and life purpose when people want that. She also brings coaching skills to support practical changes like routines, boundaries, or work-life balance.
Her background includes individual and group work across outpatient and residential settings. That experience informs how she supports people coping with trauma, parenting challenges, postpartum adjustment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Cindy speaks English and works with people who are navigating young adult issues, women's concerns, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and career transitions. She offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space and helps people take concrete steps toward the life they want.
How Cindy’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice worrying thoughts and stay connected to their values. It is useful when anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to create small experiments that can reduce symptoms and build better routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift patterns in close relationships by tracking emotions and responding differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try strategies together. That collaborative process lets the therapist and client adjust methods over time to match what actually helps.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone requires less bandwidth, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These choices make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, or busy schedules and help people keep progress moving even when life is hectic.
