Cindy Burnett

Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with three decades of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, ADHD, and life changes. Cindy aims to offer steady, nonjudgmental support while helping people notice different ways to respond to problems.

She works in a warm, straightforward way. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit a person's life. Cindy listens first, then uses tools to help people rethink unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people calm their reactions and stay present.

Cindy has worked in schools, community mental health, and settings serving people with intellectual challenges. Her background includes work with adolescents, young adults, and families, and many years supporting people through blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, divorce and separation, and parenting questions. She has helped people navigate career transitions and relationship communication problems.

Her training includes a master’s degree in community agency counseling from Clemson University and a master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling from the same university. She holds the LPC credential in South Carolina and also completed a Global Career Development Facilitator credential to support career guidance during transitions.

Cindy describes therapy as a personal process that aims to increase self-awareness, mend relationships, and help people move toward the life they want. To begin, she asks people to share their story and collaborate on realistic steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs empathy and a place to sort out their thoughts before tackling changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, anger, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and personal preference. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can keep appointments during work or school breaks. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into your schedule and how you want to use therapy in everyday life.
