About Cindy
Over her career she has worked extensively with youth and people connected to the foster care and criminal justice systems. That background shaped her focus on adoption, reunification, and supporting people affected by trauma and abuse. She also helps people facing abandonment, attachment questions, and the special stresses that come with caregiving roles.
Cindy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and create space for their priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy inform her work on emotion regulation and staying present when feelings feel overwhelming.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens, brainstorms options, and practices skills together that can be used at home. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum.
Readers can expect straightforward conversation and gentle humor in sessions. Cindy says she will start where someone is and walk alongside them as they learn new ways to cope and make choices that fit their values.

How Cindy's approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns and test new behaviors. Online sessions can be used to practice those skills, set small goals, and review how changes are working in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. In virtual conversation this means the therapist asks about immediate concerns and tailors sessions to what matters most right now.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She explores preferences together and adjusts methods as progress and challenges emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports practicing skills in the context of everyday life and following up on homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can help you weigh the practical benefits and choose an approach that fits your routine and goals.
