About Cindy
Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with three decades of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship struggles, mood disorders, and life transitions. She talks with clients in a straightforward, compassionate way and aims to offer practical guidance and emotional support.
Cindy believes life paths are shaped by family, choices, and how people respond to events. In sessions she listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns that affect their mood and behavior.
Background and approach
She works to help people change unhelpful reactions and build clearer ways to respond to stress. Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques. Mindfulness practices are used to help people manage difficult feelings in the moment.
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that fit daily life. Cindy has worked across schools, community mental health, and with people who have intellectual challenges. That experience informs her practical style and ability to explain ideas in plain language.
She has particular experience with adolescents, young adults, and family-related concerns. She earned a master’s in community agency counseling and a master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling from Clemson University, and holds the LPC credential. Cindy also completed a Global Career Development Facilitator certification to support people facing career transitions.
How her methods translate to online care
Client-centered therapy means the focus is on the person's needs and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people feel understood so they can decide next steps. This approach helps with anxiety, relationship concerns, and self-esteem by building a trusting working relationship.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes because it gives clear tools people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, combining listening with hands-on tools based on the client's goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter exchanges during a busy day. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into everyday life.
