About Cindy

Cindy Hannigan is an LPC who helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship stress, and life transitions. She also supports concerns such as parenting strain, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and identity questions. Her tone is affirming and practical, aimed at people who need clear steps and steady support.

Cindy uses straightforward conversations to help clients identify patterns that get in the way of daily life. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits, and helps people build small routines and skills that reduce overwhelm. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, coping strategies, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.

Her work is collaborative: she listens, reflects what she hears, and offers tools that clients can try between meetings. That might include ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses, or set manageable goals for relationships and work. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.

With 12 years of clinical experience in Texas, Cindy has worked with clients facing trauma, attachment struggles, chronic stress, and shifting life roles. She brings multiple approaches together to match each person’s needs, drawing on methods that focus on thoughts, behavior, and emotions.

Cindy’s practice supports people across a wide range of concerns including bipolar symptoms, caregiving stress, body image, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment. She aims to help clients feel more capable in daily life and clearer about next steps.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with depression, anxiety, and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. A therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what feels most manageable. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust plans based on what helps most over time.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions help keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, or health demands. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to work well in remote conversations, using homework, short exercises, and clear action steps between meetings.
