About Cindee
Cindee Oswald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 11 years of practice to her work in California. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, addictions, and related concerns. She aims to offer steady, practical support while respecting each person's pace and boundaries.
Her style is warm and person-centered. She listens first and lets clients set goals. She offers honest feedback and gentle challenges to help people test limits they have set for themselves.
Background and approach
Cindee uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, developing coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. She also works with concerns such as grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career stress, bipolar and mood concerns, and hoarding.
Cindee mentions coaching and support for compassion fatigue as part of her focus. Most scheduling happens in the evenings and on weekends. She checks messages at least twice daily and aims to respond within 24 hours.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood.Cindee works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will talk with clients about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what does and does not help. That process is shared and paced to match comfort levels and practical needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief ongoing contact and reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings, weekends, or work breaks while keeping focus on building skills and progress.
