Background and approach

Sessions often include simple behavioral tools and thought exercises you can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking. Cindy also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions toward them.

For clients with strong attachment concerns, she incorporates attachment-based ideas to improve relationship security. Over 12 years of work in Texas inform her approach. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for LGBTQ+ people and others who have felt marginalized.

The focus is on restoring agency and a clearer sense of direction. Therapy with Cindy is collaborative. Together clients set practical goals and track progress.

Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs and everyday responsibilities.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, useful for stress, anxiety, and sleep problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That partnership helps fine-tune what is tried in sessions and what homework makes sense.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat are useful for quick reflections, brief coaching, or added support between scheduled meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain ongoing momentum.
