More about Cindy

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW

I am an Alabama Licensed Social Worker with gleaned experience working with diverse populations and age ranges including adults, adolescents, and children. Various genres of my work have included individuals of trauma, substance use/addiction, prior/current incarceration, daily coping, and parenting.

I believe in a holistic strengths-based approach to therapy and enjoy a diverse client population of individuals that may be dealing with childhood trauma, adult trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, self-esteem, substance use disorders, irrational thought patterns, and maladaptive coping skills.

Since a one-size-fits-all approach has not been proven effective, I focus on client-centered therapy utilizing Cognitive Behavioral approaches, Dialectical Behavioral approaches, and problem-solving techniques.

I am passionate about providing an environment where individuals and or families can find unconditional positive regard, safety, and support to explore and become the best version of themselves. The journey of self-healing and self-discovery can be excitingly terrifying but well worth it. Take the first step and let me support and empower you along the way!!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I was very pleased with my first session with Cindy. She was focused on my concerns and provided assignments/exercises for me to work on between sessions. She was genuinely concerned about my mental health. Also, I love the fact that she was flexible and her response turn-around time was quick. (Same day-within hours) I am looking forward to my next session.
