About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strain, intimacy questions, and relationship-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and she notes experience with LGBT concerns and life transitions.
Cindy uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. She helps people talk through communication problems, manage mood symptoms, and address sleep or anger issues that affect daily life. She also supports clients facing career strain, caregiving burdens, chronic illness stress, and challenges tied to adoption or attachment concerns.
Her work draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. In practice she mixes these methods to focus on concrete skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, and noticing patterns in close relationships. Sessions often include goal-setting and simple exercises to try between meetings.
Cindy describes her style as collaborative. She listens for what matters most and then helps clients pick small steps to try. For parents and adults dealing with family strain, she offers help sorting priorities and calming repeated conflicts so day-to-day life is easier.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used and how they fit online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior in small steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with stress, life changes, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people recognize how early relationships affect current responses. This approach can be useful for intimacy concerns, attachment issues, and some relationship-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match current needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as different strategies are tried and assessed together.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Many adults find that meeting remotely lets them follow through on weekly work without rearranging as much of their day, but check the site matching process to see which formats this therapist currently offers.
