About Cindy
Cindy Richardson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, and anger. She writes and speaks plainly, so clients know what to expect in sessions and can make steady progress toward clearer thinking and better choices. She uses a client-centered approach that places the person's goals and values at the center of care.
Cindy listens first, then offers practical tools that match each person's life.
Background and approach
Many people come for help with depression, grief, relationship strain, or problems at work and leave with a clearer plan to move forward. Cindy also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change habits that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming, to build better emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Motivational interviewing helps people who are unsure about change find their own reasons to try new steps. She has worked with issues across the lifespan, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and aging-related challenges. Cindy supports people facing trauma, addiction, codependency, and career transitions with straightforward guidance and steady support.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cindy helps people set realistic goals and uses proven techniques in ways that fit a client's everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Using practical therapy approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and values and starts with listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard while shaping therapy around what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches simple, everyday skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build better habits for managing anxiety, anger, and depression.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.
Finding the right mix of methods is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, preferences, and goals and then suggest approaches to try. Sessions can be adjusted over time as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and use worksheets together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels awkward. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, daily skill practice, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options provide flexibility so people can access therapy in ways that match their routines.
