About Cynthia
Cynthia (Cindi) Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and other emotional challenges. Cynthia creates a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and begin to find practical ways forward.
She uses several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs rather than relying on one fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills people can use day to day - managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes like divorce or caregiving demands. Cynthia also supports people navigating issues related to identity, grief, and trauma. Her background includes long-term clinical work and many hours helping people manage chronic stress and relationship struggles.
That experience shapes how she structures sessions: clear goals, steady pacing, and attention to what matters most to the client. She draws on evidence-based tools to help reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Cynthia works with adults facing a broad range of concerns including addictions, compassion fatigue, and body image worries.
She pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment themes that often underpin recurring problems. Clients can expect respectful listening and practical next steps after each meeting. Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Cynthia accepts international clients and offers support for those dealing with career strain, parenting stress, chronic illness, and significant life transitions.
Online approaches that match your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on what matters most to the person rather than fighting every upsetting thought.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and phobias because it breaks problems into manageable steps and builds coping tools.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and increasing distress tolerance. It can help when overwhelmed feelings or recurring patterns interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Together you can adjust the plan over time so the work fits your needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to stay connected. Video calls let you work face to face when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or video is not an option. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care from different locations.
