About Cindy
Cindy Cothran, LPCC, LPC, is licensed in Tennessee and has 18 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, and a broad range of mood and life-change issues. Her stated approach is attachment-based and client-focused, and she uses a mix of methods to match each person's goals.
Cindy aims for a direct, sincere style in sessions. She uses understanding and gentle humor while helping people identify what brought them to therapy. She names attachment-based work as a foundation and draws on other approaches to address presenting problems. Sessions emphasize practical skills and reflection rather than clinical jargon.
Her background includes long experience applying a range of evidence-informed techniques. She reports using Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR methods, Gottman-informed work for relationship concerns, and client-centered listening. These tools are chosen to fit the issue at hand, from anxiety and trauma to communication problems and mood disorders.
Cindy also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, codependency, family-of-origin problems, fertility and intimacy topics including BDSM and kink, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She notes work with grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue as part of her practice.
Her practice language is English. Cindy asks prospective clients to use the site's matching process to schedule a first appointment and to confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and how early connections affect current relationships. It helps people notice interaction habits and build healthier ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for anxiety, mood instability, and stress.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus on skills, processing trauma, or relationship work.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel. Remote work also supports consistent attendance when schedules or location changes would otherwise interrupt care. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills training, attachment-based conversations, and EMDR-informed techniques to remote sessions when appropriate, and the therapist will explain how each approach will be used.
