About Cindy
Cindy earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of West Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy State University. She has worked in the helping professions for over two decades and has been a Florida LMHC since 2011.
Early in her career she worked in a community mental health agency serving people with persistent mental illness and substance use concerns. That background shaped her interest in combining clear, goal-focused methods with motivational work that meets each person where they are.
In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to build plans that fit daily life. Expect conversations that identify problems in simple steps, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of coping between meetings.
Cindy frames therapy as a process of discovery and gradual change. She guides people through setbacks and small wins, and she helps them notice practical strategies that lead to better functioning and more stable moods over time.
How Cindy Uses Practical Approaches Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing small, real-world changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood management because it gives step-by-step practices to try between sessions.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels unsure about change or is struggling with addictions or making life adjustments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cindy will talk with each person about what matters to them and then try methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings. People often benefit from shorter check-ins, sessions that avoid travel time, or the chance to work on skills at times that suit them.
