About Cynthia
Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Louisiana. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and brings two decades of clinical experience to her work. Cynthia emphasizes listening, authenticity, and a non-judgmental stance in sessions.
She aims to create a calm space where parents and families can talk through pressing concerns. Her background includes work across multiple settings with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma and grief.
Background and approach
She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with life changes. Cynthia uses practical tools rather than jargon so clients can try strategies between sessions. Her style blends client-centered listening with structured techniques when helpful.
That means she starts by hearing a family's priorities and then suggests steps to try, including thought-focused strategies and goal-oriented solutions. Motivational interviewing also informs her work when people want to change habits or manage addictive behaviors. Cynthia aims to help clients build skills for day-to-day life.
Sessions often focus on clear steps, small goals, and realistic coping plans. She works collaboratively and adjusts her approach to match each household's needs. Parents who want straightforward guidance around parenting, family stress, or relationship strains may find her practical, steady style a good fit.
She welcomes questions and invites prospective clients to reach out to begin the process.
Online approaches that fit family life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship first. It helps people feel heard and safe enough to talk about family stress, parenting worries, or relationship tensions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and for managing everyday parenting stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own motivation to change habits or address addictions. It is brief and collaborative, and often used alongside other approaches to support steps toward healthier routines.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps families pick strategies that fit their values and schedules.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls make it possible to meet face to face without travel, phone sessions work for quick check-ins, and live chat or text messaging allow short, ongoing support between appointments. These options help parents and caregivers keep continuity of care while managing day-to-day demands.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
