About Cindy

Cindy Paillant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her tone is warm and straightforward and she aims to make therapy feel doable for people with busy lives.

Cindy mixes practical tools and talking therapy. Sessions focus on solving current problems and building skills clients can use every day.

Background and approach

She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and on emotionally focused work to improve close relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy methods to help people clarify what matters and take intended action. Her approach respects each person’s values and goals and adapts to different needs.

Clients can expect short-term strategies as well as deeper conversations when those are helpful. Cindy has worked in individual and group settings, and in both outpatient and residential programs. That variety shaped her ability to support people through crisis, grief, addiction, parenting stress, postpartum concerns, and other complex situations.

She also offers life coaching-style work for people exploring life purpose or career direction. Sessions are offered in English and Cindy sees international clients as well. She describes her style as compassionate and interactive, aiming to empower people to make steady changes and feel more in control of their daily life.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters to you and supports small, consistent steps toward those values. It is useful when people feel stuck or uncertain about priorities and want practical ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships, helping people improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on how things go in sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions let people use visual cues and feel more like in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are helpful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when messaging fits a packed schedule. These options make it easier to fit care around work, family, or travel while working with a licensed professional.
