About Cindy
Cindy Hamilton, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), is licensed in North Dakota and Wyoming and has 30 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting, relationship and family concerns, and uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing approaches in her work.
Cindy has spent her career in social work supporting youth and people connected to the foster care and criminal justice systems. She emphasizes permanency options such as safe family reunification, adoption, or guardianship when appropriate. She also advocates for birth family involvement when it supports a child’s safety.
She draws on lived experience as a foster and adoptive parent. That background informs her perspective and gives practical insight into adoption preparation, disruption, and navigating birth family relationships. She helps alumni of foster care develop parenting skills and break cycles of harmful behaviors.
Her practice addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, domestic violence, codependency, post-traumatic stress, and isolation or loneliness. She uses concrete strategies from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Cindy’s style is relaxed and direct, with an appropriate sense of humor. She values dignity and respect and listens for practical ways to move forward. Clients work together with her to set goals and practice new skills that fit their daily lives.

Approaches used in virtual sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and strengths. The therapist listens carefully and helps clients set their own goals and make practical choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers techniques for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Cindy will review your concerns and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as goals evolve and as you notice what works better in practice.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, continue therapy when travel would otherwise interrupt care, or use video or phone methods that suit a given appointment. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to virtual settings so clients can practice coping skills between sessions.
