About Cynthia
Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with two decades of clinical experience. She began her career after earning a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and has worked across a range of settings. Cynthia focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and life transitions.
She aims to listen well, be authentic, and offer practical support. Her sessions are straightforward and goal-minded.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to strengthen motivation for change.
Cynthia often works with concerns around relationships, parenting strain, intimacy, grief, and career stress. She supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the aftereffects of abuse. Her approach blends short-term strategies with a focus on day-to-day coping skills.
In sessions she favors clear steps and measurable goals. People can expect practical exercises, reflective listening, and occasional homework to practice between visits. The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Cynthia meets clients where they are and adjusts pace to individual needs. She offers a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. International clients who speak English may also work with her.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Cynthia uses practical therapy online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that add to anxiety, anger, or low mood. Cynthia uses simple exercises to test new thoughts and try different behaviors that can change daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance so clients can explore feelings and set their own goals in a respectful setting.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Cynthia collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls let you work face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework feedback, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats let people keep momentum and practice skills without major schedule changes.
