About Cindy
Cindy Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 25 years of clinical experience in South Carolina. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and anger. She also helps people facing addictions, life changes, and career concerns.
Cindy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that make anger, anxiety, or sadness feel bigger. She uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build better coping skills. Sessions often focus on skills people can try between appointments. Cindy also uses motivational interviewing when people are trying to change habits such as substance use. Solution-focused techniques help when someone wants short-term goals and clear next steps. She speaks plainly about options and helps people choose practical strategies that make sense for their life. Many people seek her out for anger that shows up at work, at home, or in close relationships. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, life stage transitions, and grief. Her work aims to reduce reactive moments and increase more thoughtful responses over time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through anger or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It provides tools to notice angry thoughts and try different responses that reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive behavior. It can be helpful for people who want emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That decision can change as progress is made, and the therapist will check in about what is working and what isn’t.
Confirm the therapist’s current session formats before scheduling, since this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as fitting a shorter check-in during a work break, avoiding travel time, or using phone-only meetings if bandwidth or video is difficult. Therapists and licensed professionals generally aim to make sessions practical, focused, and easy to include in everyday routines.
