Cindy Richardson

Cindy Richardson is an LPC who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing big life changes. She brings 25 years of experience and a warm, straightforward manner to sessions. Her style aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find practical steps forward.

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. Cindy also supports those coping with career shifts, intimacy concerns, anger, and the ongoing strain of caregiving or chronic illness. She listens first, so goals come from the person in the room rather than from a checklist.

Cindy draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas when strong emotions feel overwhelming, and motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own drive for change. Solution-focused work is used to set short-term, doable goals.

Over her career she has worked with issues that often come together, such as substance use with mood symptoms, or grief alongside caregiving stress. She describes therapy as collaborative: clients and the therapist map the problem, pick small next steps, and review progress together.

Sessions are straightforward and geared to fit into daily life. The first meetings focus on understanding what matters most to the client and agreeing on clear, practical steps. People looking to address life transitions or long-term struggles often find this practical, down-to-earth approach helpful.

How Cindy’s approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting thought and behavior patterns that cause distress and trying small experiments to shift them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals from what matters to the client, which can help people who need a steady, understanding space to talk.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Cindy will discuss these approaches and help decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is reviewed, and choices are guided by practical needs and what the client finds most helpful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking to learn whether online sessions are offered and in what form. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It also makes it possible to maintain continuity during life transitions so therapeutic work keeps moving forward.
