About Cindy
Cindy Cothran offers straightforward, compassionate care for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, or major life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make first steps into therapy easier. Cindy emphasizes respect, gentle humor, and steady support as clients work toward clearer goals.
Cindy has practiced as a counselor for 18 years and holds LPCC and LPC credentials. She adapts her methods to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
That means practical tools one week and deeper processing the next, depending on what will help most. Her work often focuses on attachment and relationships, including communication problems, codependency, and non-monogamous relationship concerns. She also addresses stress, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, parenting strain, and issues around identity and self-worth.
In sessions she blends client-centered listening with evidence-based techniques. That can include mindfulness skills, strategies from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation, or trauma-focused methods when needed. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented, not overly technical.
Cindy provides online options and flexible formats so therapy can fit into busy lives. She aims to help people leave sessions with a clear next step and a little more hope about coping with life’s challenges.
How Cindy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people connect with others and how past relationship patterns shape current reactions; online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experiences, using deep listening and reflective conversation to build insight and confidence. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or messaging.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cindy will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and help pick methods that match your goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let you send updates and practice skills between appointments. These formats make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
