Cindy Cothran , LPCC, LPC

Cindy Cothran frames therapy as a dependable emotional refuge and strives to make the first steps into treatment less daunting. She approaches each person with warmth, gentle humor, and a commitment to their best interests, creating a space where understanding and connection guide the work together. Cindy supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and other challenges, offering steady presence and practical strategies to navigate difficult moments.

With 18 years of experience as a licensed counselor, she holds the LPCC and LPC credentials - professional licenses that indicate advanced clinical training and the ability to provide psychotherapy. Her therapeutic style is attachment-based at its core, and she adapts methods to fit individual goals and needs. Cindy draws on an eclectic mix of evidence-informed tools, including mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, Hakomi-inspired awareness work, somatic approaches, and EMDR when appropriate.

Her manner is sincere and wholehearted, grounded in a belief in people’s inherent worth and capacity for growth. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, she tailors interventions to each person's history, relationships, and desired outcomes. Cindy provides supportive, skilled guidance for those ready to explore change and build a more connected, meaningful life.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Cindy integrates several therapeutic approaches that adapt effectively to remote care. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present-day connections - it helps people understand patterns in intimacy, trust, and emotional safety and can be useful for relationship challenges and attachment concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness - it is often applied when emotion regulation and coping strategies are central goals. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact; when appropriate, parts of EMDR work can be coordinated in virtual sessions with careful preparation.

Cindy approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors interventions so the selected approach fits the individual's situation and pace. This partnership helps determine when to emphasize skills training, relational work, or trauma-focused techniques.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, stay connected between sessions, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
