About Cindy
Cindy Molina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career questions, and LGBT identity concerns. She also helps people who are dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care histories, chronic illness, and codependency patterns.
Cindy uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's goals central to sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and learn practical coping skills. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals and Trauma-Focused methods when past events are getting in the way of current functioning.
In a typical session she listens for what matters most to the client, clarifies practical next steps, and offers tools to try between meetings. Conversations can cover communication skills, boundary setting, navigating commitment and relationship concerns, and managing anxiety or depressive symptoms. She also works with people exploring kink and alternative sex culture in ways that attend to consent and safety.
Cindy provides care in both English and Spanish and has spent nearly two decades working with a wide range of life experiences, including grief, workplace stress, and major life transitions. She emphasizes culturally responsive practice and attending to how identity and history shape current struggles.

How her clinical methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the client's priorities and values, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting back what she hears to clarify next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and then practice different responses. This approach is often used to address stress, worry, and depressive symptoms with concrete skills to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as sessions progress. That decision is collaborative and based on what the client wants to focus on and how they respond to initial strategies.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific online methods. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can take place without travel, be scheduled around work, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Phone sessions may be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Choosing a format is a practical decision made together, focused on what helps sustain consistent work toward the client's goals.
