About Cindy
Cindy Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 21 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. Cindy also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, personality disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and life purpose.
She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people name what feels out of balance. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, practical changes that can reduce distress. Cindy draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and on cognitive behavioral ideas to test unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her approach also incorporates emotionally-focused strategies to help people better understand and express feelings in relationships. That can be useful after betrayals, during separation, or when longstanding patterns keep repeating. Cindy encourages clear communication and steps people can try between sessions.
People often come when they feel stuck after a life change or struggling with ongoing worry and low mood. She aims to help clients sort priorities, make decisions, and rebuild daily routines so they feel more manageable. Cindy explains ideas in plain language and checks in about whether each step feels useful.
Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on concrete skills alongside talking through painful experiences. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level. When appropriate, Cindy blends the methods above to match what a person needs right now.
How Cindy's approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with what matters now and the therapist reflects back concerns and goals so a plan can emerge. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress and anxiety and offers practical steps to test new ways of thinking and acting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people name and communicate underlying emotions in relationships and can be useful for repairing trust or breaking repeating patterns.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work together. Cindy will discuss the methods above, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps match tools to the person’s goals and preferences rather than assuming a single method will fit.
Confirm current session options before booking if you need a specific format. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be structured to fit daily life and responsibilities.
