Cindee Oswald

Cindee Oswald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eleven years of experience helping people manage life’s hard moments. She greets clients with a steady, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps toward feeling better. Cindee aims to be a steady companion rather than a director, guiding people while they take the lead in their own change.

She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help with anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, and trauma. Sessions often include clear goal setting, gentle feedback, and skills practice to build new patterns for daily life. The work moves at each person’s emotional pace and tries to balance challenge with support.

Cindee also addresses issues related to parenting, grief, sleep and eating concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Hoarding concerns are an additional focus area she will help people untangle through stepwise planning and exposure to manageable tasks. Her practice is person-centered, meaning the client’s goals shape the plan.

She describes her role as a navigator in the passenger seat, offering maps and feedback while clients drive their own change. Cindee tends to communicate in a nurturing, direct way that invites reflection and action. Evening and weekend times are commonly used for scheduling, and she aims to respond to messages within a day.

If someone is ready to explore change, Cindee supports developing a clearer sense of self and practical steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It often uses homework and skill practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention practices to calm reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anger, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision will be adjusted over time based on what helps most, making the work collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling for evenings and weekends and fitting sessions around work or family life. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions that don’t require being on camera. This practice’s specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to know which formats are offered.
