Cindy Dietrich , LMHC

Cindy Dietrich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. As an LMHC she holds a professional license to provide mental health counseling services, and she combines formal education with diverse clinical training to support individuals facing a wide range of challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, and she brings six years of clinical experience to her work.

Cindy has pursued specialized training across multiple evidence-informed modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Infant Mental Health approaches, Brazelton Touchpoints, Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and Trauma-Focused CBT. That breadth of training informs a flexible, individualized approach that recognizes each person’s circumstances and strengths.

Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationships and family dynamics, eating and parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include infidelity, obsessions and compulsions including OCD, postpartum depression, and sexual assault and abuse. Cindy emphasizes validation, collaboration, and steady support while working with individuals to process trauma and rebuild a sense of wellbeing.

She aims to create an encouraging environment where people feel heard and supported as they take steps toward healing and improved quality of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cindy Dietrich uses client-centered therapy to create a compassionate, collaborative space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach focuses on empathy, validation, and supporting personal growth. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients processing traumatic memories - EMDR uses guided attention and structured protocols to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and associated reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she uses to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Cindy works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the approach aligns with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. These options support consistent, accessible work with licensed professionals and therapists while focusing on meaningful progress.
