About Cynthia

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the District of Columbia with 10 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, self-esteem, sleep problems, career concerns, depression, and life transitions. Sessions can include discussions of faith when the client prefers that approach.

She emphasizes looking at a person's strengths and identifying what keeps them stuck. Cynthia uses a mix of practical conversation and goal-focused techniques to help people notice patterns in relationships and daily life. She blends attachment-focused ideas with cognitive strategies to address thinking and behavior that fuel anger and resentment.

When clients want faith-informed support, she offers a biblical and strength-based approach to counseling and coaching. She also mentions working with singles who want to build healthy dating boundaries and provides online premarital assessments that take about 30 minutes to complete independently.

Cynthia includes motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps to set clear goals and small experiments between sessions. She offers guidance for caregivers, people facing midlife questions, and those coping with family-of-origin issues or loneliness. She names aging and geriatric concerns among her additional focuses.

She notes an interest in using aroma-based methods as an optional tool; this is described as an opportunity to try essential oils alongside talk work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, anger patterns, sleep trouble, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions. That can be useful for relationship strain, trust issues, and patterns of anger in close connections.

The right approach is decided together. Cynthia uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to set clear goals and try small changes between sessions. She will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, values, and goals rather than impose a single technique.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays, evenings, or a lunch break, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats let people check in without video or keep sessions shorter when life is busy. Ask about the specific session types offered when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
