Cindee draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness practices.

In sessions she helps people clarify values, notice patterns, and try small behavior changes that add up over time. Based in California as an LCSW, she has experience across settings and populations. She aims to meet people where they are, help them build skills, and support gradual change.

If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through scheduling and the initial steps toward therapy.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathy and listening to build self-understanding and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend methods to try. Sessions can include exercises, discussion, and simple homework, and the plan is adjusted over time based on what works for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when more visual interaction helps. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use messaging when a quick note or reflection is needed. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
