About Cynthia
Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and has spent two decades working directly with adults on common life struggles. Cynthia lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among her practice areas.
She prefers a straightforward, listening-first approach. Sessions focus on clear conversation, practical steps, and honest feedback. Cynthia emphasizes being authentic and non-judgmental while helping people name what’s causing pain and frustration.
Her work draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s experience central. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to build small, achievable changes. Motivational interviewing shows up when helping someone resolve ambivalence about change.
People come to Cynthia when they want direct help with heated reactions, difficult relationships, or ongoing stress that affects daily life. She offers coaching-style support for goal setting alongside therapeutic work for deeper issues like trauma or relapse prevention.
Cynthia asks new clients to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session so the two of them can clarify goals. She works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by client location and use a cancel-anytime subscription plan.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. Online sessions focus on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping the client set priorities for change. This approach is useful for issues like anger, relationship tension, and coping with life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In online sessions Cynthia can help identify unhelpful thinking, try brief behavioral experiments, and practice new responses to stress or anger using clear homework between meetings.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. It uses guided conversation to clarify what matters, weigh options, and build motivation at a comfortable pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust strategies as the work progresses so the plan fits the client rather than the other way around.
