Cindy Richardson

Cindy Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She brings a calm, down-to-earth approach to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Cindy works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and life transitions. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

In sessions Cindy listens first and helps clients set clear, attainable goals. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when they fit a client’s needs to manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Cindy also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people find motivation and practical next steps. That combination allows short-term problem solving and longer work on patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions emphasize simple skills people can practice between meetings.

Her background includes a wide range of clinical work over two and a half decades. Cindy has supported people dealing with trauma, addiction, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue. She brings experience working with aging and caregiver issues alongside more typical mental health concerns.

People who come to Cindy can expect steady support, clear tools, and a focus on what matters most to them. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Using therapeutic approaches in online counseling

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress with specific exercises and thought records. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are repeatedly strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with concrete skills, then adding motivation-focused or solution-focused steps as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use phone-only meetings if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to work in remote sessions so clients keep practicing between meetings.
