About Cindy
Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, mood concerns, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She offers calm, down-to-earth support for people dealing with depression, bipolar mood shifts, ADHD, anger, low self-esteem, and career questions. Cindy practices from South Carolina and draws on three decades of experience.
Cindy believes people’s lives are shaped by family history, choices, and how they respond to events.
Background and approach
She listens without judgment and helps clients see new perspectives. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and clearer ways to respond when emotions run high. Her style blends client-centered listening with solution-focused work.
She also uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns, manage strong feelings, and build small, steady changes. The aim is to increase self-awareness and improve day-to-day coping. Cindy has worked in schools and community mental health settings, and with people who have intellectual challenges.
Her background includes supporting adolescents, young adults, and those navigating blended family issues or adoption and foster-care concerns. She also has experience with communication problems, codependency, and separation or divorce concerns. She earned a master’s degree in community agency counseling and a second master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling from Clemson University, and holds an SC LPC.
Cindy also completed a Global Career Development Facilitator credential to support career transitions.
How Cindy Uses Approaches Online
Cindy combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice new responses. Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting, respectful relationship that guides the rest of the work.She also uses mindfulness strategies to teach simple attention and grounding exercises. These tools can reduce reactivity, help manage anxiety or anger, and support coping during life changes. Each approach is used with a focus on clear, attainable goals rather than complex theory.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Cindy treats it as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques, then adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and aligned with what the person wants to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is good for deeper conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter work between meetings. These options give flexibility to match communication style and scheduling needs.
