About Cynthia
Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. Cynthia aims to listen, be genuine, and offer a non-judgmental space for people to address hard things.
She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to addictions and bipolar disorder.
How Cynthia works
Cynthia includes work on self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue in her practice. In sessions she uses clear, practical methods. She draws on client-centered ways of working to follow each person’s lead and build trust.
She also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviors in real life. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She asks questions, listens carefully, and helps people set small, achievable goals.
Some work is coaching-focused, with action steps and regular check-ins to track progress. Cynthia has spent many years in a range of settings with individuals and families. She combines that background with a calm, steady approach aimed at helping people get unstuck and move toward better days.
She welcomes conversations about concerns and treatment options.

Approaches for online sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete tasks to try between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that change with new skills or habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring and then recommend options. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into life. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, coaching-style check-ins, or when writing feels easier than talking. These formats aim to increase flexibility and access while letting people choose what fits their routine best.
