About Cynthia
Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the District of Columbia. She uses practical, skills-based work to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. Cynthia speaks plainly and focuses on small, doable changes clients can try between sessions.
She blends talk therapy with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and attachment-based thinking to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding routine after loss or change.
Background and approach
Cynthia also uses solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to set goals and sustain progress. Clients who want faith to be part of sessions can bring it into their work, and those who prefer a nonreligious approach are supported equally. Cynthia has ten years of experience and blends coaching elements when clients want practical next steps toward career or relationship goals.
She offers a mix of appointment times, including evenings and weekends, to fit busy schedules. Cynthia sometimes incorporates aromatic techniques when clients opt in, explaining them as an optional tool alongside talk therapy. Her aim is to help people feel less isolated and more able to take small steps toward the life they want.
People who contact Cynthia typically start by describing what feels most urgent, then together they decide on short-term goals. Her style prioritizes clear feedback, steady problem solving, and building on strengths so clients leave with concrete actions to try between sessions.
Practical therapy methods for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. In a few sessions this approach can help people notice repeating dynamics, improve communication, and feel safer in close connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit the issue at hand, and adjust based on what works. That way clients help shape the plan and understand why certain exercises or homework are suggested.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video visits let people use visual cues for relationship work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other life demands while keeping therapeutic focus and progress clear.
