About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship troubles, and grief. She also supports concerns like trauma and abuse, parenting strain, intimacy issues, sleep problems, and career-related stress. Cindy uses straightforward language and a warm manner to make sessions feel understandable and approachable.
She blends practical skills with personal reflection. Clients learn coping tools for day-to-day pressures and strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
How Cindy works
Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding self-esteem. Cindy supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns with an affirming stance. Her background includes 12 years of clinical experience and practice in Texas.
Cindy draws on multiple therapy methods to fit a person’s needs rather than using only one technique. She explains options and helps people choose what feels most useful for their goals. Work in therapy is collaborative and paced to each person.
Some weeks focus on concrete coping skills, while other sessions go deeper into attachment or trauma patterns. Parents can get practical coaching around parenting challenges and managing stress with family responsibilities. Cindy offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used, which can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on the therapist’s availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often focuses on building meaningful routines and accepting difficult feelings while taking steady steps toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or other methods fit best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and coaching easier between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
