About Cynthia
Cynthia (Cindi) Stewart is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing strong emotions find steadier footing. Her work often centers on practical skills for navigating stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Cindi aims to build a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them. She listens closely to each person's story and focuses on simple, usable strategies. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation, as well as challenges like addiction, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She also supports issues around identity and LGBT concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career or parenting strain.
Cindi draws from approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. She blends these to match what an individual needs and wants to try. The aim is skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Licensed as an LPC and LPCC, she practices from Missouri and works with people across locations. Communication stays plain and direct, and the focus remains on real-world coping. People who prefer a practical, steady style may find her approach helpful.

Approaches that guide online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions like anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy invites people to notice difficult feelings without fighting them and to act in ways that match their values, which can help during life transitions and with chronic stress.Cindi uses these approaches together with client-centered listening to shape online sessions. She will help the client decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation is collaborative - the therapist and client choose practical steps and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when screen time works best. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share updates or get brief support between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
