About Cynthia

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends faith-informed perspectives with practical counseling tools. She focuses on helping people notice their strengths and identify what keeps them stuck. Cynthia speaks plainly and offers time slots that include evenings and weekends to fit busy schedules.

Her approach can include a biblical, strengths-based angle when clients want that element. She also uses aroma-based techniques as an optional tool to help clear emotional obstacles.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping clients make small, steady changes. Over a decade of practice has given Cynthia experience applying several therapeutic methods. She draws from attachment-focused work and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and repair important connections.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also used to set clear goals and track progress. Cynthia can support issues like stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, depression, and life transitions. She lists family and parenting among her focus areas and also notes related concerns such as blended family issues, caregiving stress, and family-of-origin patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats. Cynthia’s profile emphasizes practical problem-solving, emotional clarity, and building a support network so clients can move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can help identify patterns in important relationships and build ways to feel safer and more connected with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual meetings Cynthia helps clients spot unhelpful thinking and practice new responses that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood.

Cynthia sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to each person’s goals and preferences and adjusts methods over time. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits what a client needs and wants to work on.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or weekends and to continue work between appointments. Practical tools and goal-setting translate well to remote sessions, allowing steady progress without frequent travel.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
