She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - and a licensed independent social worker - LISW - with 15 years of experience. Cindy keeps sessions straightforward and focused on real problems a person brings each week.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered methods.
How Cynthia works
She helps people untangle anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and sleep problems. She also focuses on stress, low self-esteem, anger, burnout, and life transitions such as job loss or midlife questions. Cindy has experience addressing complex issues like trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, and codependency.
She also works with people navigating first responder stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and substance use challenges. Her practice includes support for those facing compassion fatigue and panic attacks. Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical change.
Clients learn tools to manage panic, cope with loss, reduce compulsive behaviors, and rebuild routines. Cindy uses mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments that people can try between sessions. She practices from Ohio and offers services in English.
Therapy is available through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action toward a more meaningful life. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose behaviors that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through short experiments and homework. It is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and many daily struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the emotional hold of painful memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding mindfulness practices, or using ACT exercises, and changing course as progress is observed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or texting can fit brief check-ins or daily support. These formats let people schedule around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping treatment consistent.
