Cindy Burnett

Cindy Burnett, LPC, offers counseling focused on life changes and everyday challenges. She brings three decades of experience in South Carolina and aims to be an encouraging, non-judgmental listener. Cindy emphasizes helping people see new perspectives and manage strong feelings so they can move forward.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions start with what matters most to the client and build small, doable steps from there. She uses client-centered conversations to understand each person’s story and solution-focused planning to set clear short-term goals. Cindy also teaches mindfulness skills and some cognitive-behavioral techniques to help calm stress and change unhelpful thinking.

Cindy has worked across schools and community mental health settings. Her background includes experience with students, adults with intellectual challenges, and people navigating transitions. That variety shaped her attention to everyday problems like relationships, parenting concerns, career shifts, and mood changes.

She earned a master’s degree in community agency counseling from Clemson University and holds the LPC credential, Licensed Professional Counselor. Cindy also completed a master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling and a Global Career Development Facilitator certification to support career-related transitions.

In sessions she focuses on building self-awareness, repairing strained relationships, and helping people take practical steps toward their goals. Cindy frames therapy as a partnership where small changes can add up to real progress. She invites prospective clients to consider counseling as a way to find clearer direction during life changes.

How Cindy’s approaches translate to online work

Cindy uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s experience and priorities. That means sessions begin with the client’s concerns and the therapist listens to understand what matters most. This approach helps with relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and figuring out next steps in life.

She also draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and anger through small behavior changes and thought practices. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That could mean more skills practice, goal-setting sessions, or quieter reflective conversations depending on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats also make shorter focused sessions simpler, or let people choose less camera time if they prefer.
