Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She trained at Chicago State University and practices from Louisiana as an LPC. Cynthia focuses on clear, practical support for everyday struggles. She keeps sessions rooted in listening and honesty.

She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Cynthia uses methods that encourage self-reflection and concrete steps forward. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace. Cynthia also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when clients want to build motivation and try practical strategies. These methods are useful for managing compulsive behaviors, substance use concerns, and setting short-term goals that feel achievable. People who reach out will find straightforward guidance and tools to try between sessions. Cynthia emphasizes small, steady changes and supports people working through compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, bipolar mood concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career issues. If someone wants to begin, Cynthia asks that they use the site process to connect and schedule a first session. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches and what online work can look like

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding and empathy. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with stress, low mood, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might fit best. Together they adjust techniques as progress and needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are offered before booking. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach coping strategies, run focused skills practice, and support goal setting across sessions.
