About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, and family of origin issues. She also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career-related stress.
Cindy listens for the patterns that came from a person’s family of origin and how those patterns still show up now. She uses clear, practical conversation to identify recurring roles, expectations, and communication habits. Sessions focus on small, concrete changes that make daily life easier rather than on labels or long explanations.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas help investigate how early relationships shape current closeness and boundaries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies support making choices that match personal values even when feelings are difficult.
Cindy also integrates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and from client-centered methods to keep the process collaborative. She helps people practice new behaviors between sessions and checks in on what is or isn’t working. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps clients can take at home and at work.
People considering therapy with Cindy are asked to use the site matching steps to set up a first session. She works in English and is based in Texas. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships or career. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current closeness and boundaries, which is helpful for people tracing family of origin patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and daily functioning, and it often suits people dealing with depression, anxiety, or sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized, and the process is collaborative so adjustments can be made over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or travel. They can allow for shorter check-ins, sessions without video when bandwidth is limited, or work that connects more directly to everyday settings. Licensed professionals and therapists often use online options to keep regular contact and practice new skills between sessions.
