About Cynthia
Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people find clearer ways forward. She uses practical strategies to address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem. Cynthia works from a strengths-based perspective and listens for what keeps people stuck.
She blends gentle faith-informed conversation with evidence-informed techniques when clients want that option. Cynthia offers coaching-style support alongside counseling to help people set goals and follow through. She can include discussions about spirituality when a client prefers that focus, and will respect it when they do not.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on relationships and attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, blended family patterns, and communication problems. Cynthia also supports people facing caregiving stress, midlife change, and questions about life purpose. She can address sleep disruption, anger, mood concerns, and trauma-related effects in straightforward sessions.
Cynthia makes use of approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, Imago relationship ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Those methods are used to build small, manageable steps and to sharpen thinking and behavior patterns. She pairs that with practical coaching to help clients practice new skills between sessions.
She offers a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions to fit varying schedules. Cynthia practices in the District of Columbia and works in English.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn different ways to connect and repair.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management.
Imago Relationship Therapy highlights communication patterns between partners and helps people practice new ways of listening and responding to one another. It is useful for improving connection and handling recurring conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Cynthia works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time, combining coaching and counseling techniques as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or step-by-step coaching between fuller sessions.
