About Cindy

Cindy Richardson is an LPC who brings 25 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. Cindy writes and talks plainly so people can understand steps to feel better. She creates a calm space where a person can speak and be heard.

Her approach is practical and centered on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Dialectical behavior ideas and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit when stronger emotion regulation or change motivation are needed.

Cindy often helps people cope with life changes, illness, caregiver strain, and issues around aging and end-of-life concerns. She works with concerns such as codependency, communication problems, intimacy issues, and career uncertainty. Trauma, abuse, and compassion fatigue are also areas she addresses in therapy.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, practical steps that fit daily life. Cindy supports people who want to improve boundaries, manage intense feelings, reduce substance use, or find more meaning in their routines. She listens closely and adjusts plans as progress is made.

How Cindy’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Online CBT sessions often focus on practical exercises and homework that you can use between meetings to change patterns of behavior.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's concerns. In online sessions this means Cindy will spend time understanding your priorities and shape sessions around what matters most to you.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before to decide which methods to use. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life because it can reduce travel time, make scheduling easier around work or caregiving, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Cindy about how to arrange sessions that match your routine and needs.
