About Cindy
Cindy Tenaglia is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She brings a warm, empathic style to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.
Cindy centers much of her work on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people move toward what matters to them while letting go of unhelpful struggle.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to build self-awareness and calm. Solution-focused tools are used when clients want clear, short-term goals and strategies. She has worked in both in-patient and out-patient settings.
That background gives her experience with a wide range of mental health and life issues, from bipolar and eating concerns to caregiving stress and chronic illness. She has also supported people dealing with relationship, intimacy, and family-of-origin problems. Cindy values communication and collaboration.
In sessions she helps clients identify steps they can try between meetings and checks what is actually working. She emphasizes self-directed learning and often uses practical exercises to build skills over time. Clients can expect straightforward tools for coping with stress, anger, low self-esteem, and decision-making around career or parenting.
Cindy works with LGBT concerns, abandonment issues, codependency, compassion fatigue, and the broad effects of chronic conditions. Based in Pennsylvania, she offers therapy that combines evidence-informed methods with conversational, goal-oriented work aimed at reducing struggle and increasing valued living.
