About Cynthia
Cynthia (Cindi) Stewart is a licensed counselor with 25 years of experience. She uses practical, person-focused methods to help people handle stress and anxiety. Her style is warm and straightforward and aims to make therapy understandable and useful.
Cindi helps people sort out anxiety, depression, changes in life, and issues with self-esteem. She also works with those facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and career stress. She pays attention to how relationships, identity, and caregiving roles affect emotions and day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Her work draws on a mix of approaches that focus on thoughts, feelings, and values. Sessions often include learning new coping skills, practicing emotional awareness, and trying small changes that matter. The process is collaborative - clients set goals and Cindi helps build steps toward them.
Cindi’s background includes long-term clinical practice and licensed professional counselor credentials: Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. That experience contributes to a steady, experienced presence in sessions. Practical concerns are addressed alongside deeper feelings.
People might work on communication, managing anger, resolving attachment or abandonment issues, or coping with chronic illness. The aim is to leave sessions with tools that fit everyday life. Therapy can include shorter check-ins or longer, skill-building sessions depending on what each person needs.
Cindi offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make it easier to keep a consistent routine.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps in that direction while living with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-guided action matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts and actions shape feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related difficulties by teaching tools to test and shift thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be helpful when strong emotions, relationship conflict, or impulsive responses cause problems. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and then adapt methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and relevant. Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible brief contact for moments when writing fits better than speaking. These options can help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or travel.Questions people ask
