About Cindy
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Cindy listens first, then helps people sort what matters most. She uses simple, goal-focused steps so progress feels manageable. Sessions emphasize real-life changes rather than abstract theory.
Over 30 years she has worked in schools and community mental health settings. That background includes supporting students and adults with intellectual challenges and assisting families through separations, blended family transitions, and adoption or foster care issues. She also provides career guidance for people coping with life transitions.
Cindy draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s perspective central. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative reactions. Mindfulness strategies teach short skills for calmer moments, and solution-focused work helps set and reach concrete goals.
She earned a master’s degree in community agency counseling and a second master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling from Clemson University and holds LPC credentialing. Cindy aims to help people improve relationships, increase self-awareness, and move toward meaningful daily routines.

How Cindy Uses Practical Approaches in Online Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that make stress or mood problems worse and then try different responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related worries.Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s priorities at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients build on their own strengths to solve problems and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try. That collaborative planning can change as needs shift over time.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking. Knowing the available formats ahead of time helps you arrange sessions around work, school, or family life.
