About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship difficulties. She also supports clients with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, and navigating life changes. Cindy takes an affirming approach with LGBTQ+ people and those exploring personal identity.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She focuses on building skills that make daily life easier, like clearer communication, coping strategies for anxiety, and ways to manage anger or overwhelm. Sessions can address practical problems at work, struggles with intimacy, or recurring patterns tied to attachment and abandonment.
Cindy draws on a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and a client-centered stance. That means she pays attention to thinking patterns, emotions, and relationship histories while helping clients choose actions that align with their values.
With 12 years of experience, Cindy helps people sort through complex or overlapping concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, chronic health challenges, and codependency. She also works with people affected by adoption or foster care, aging-related worries, and caregiver stress.
Her goal is practical progress rather than labels. Clients work together with Cindy to set concrete goals, try new behaviors between sessions, and track what helps. To begin, follow the site Start Therapy steps and schedule according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In sessions a person learns to notice unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and try new responses to reduce anxiety or depression.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for stress, rumination, and when someone wants more consistent action toward goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches so techniques match what the client wants to accomplish.
The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life. It can make scheduling easier for people juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments. If you need a shorter check-in, a quieter moment that does not require travel, or a way to meet without rearranging a whole day, online sessions can help.
