About Cindy
Cindy Richardson, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina, has 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and grief using client-centered and evidence-informed methods. Cindy describes her work as practical and focused on what helps people cope and move forward.
Cindy uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and help clients name their priorities. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when substance use or ambivalence about change is present. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals that fit day-to-day life.
Sessions emphasize clear steps and skills. Cindy helps people practice ways to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, address addictive patterns, and improve communication. She also supports people facing caregiving strain, aging concerns, chronic illness, or end-of-life issues.
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, codependency, impulsivity, and problems with intimacy. Cindy assists people coping with loss, guilt, shame, and career uncertainty. She brings long experience to complex cases that involve co-occurring mood or substance issues.
Cindy provides services in English and is licensed in South Carolina. She does not accept international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow the site matching steps and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.

How Cindy’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and helping people set their own goals. Online sessions can keep that same collaborative tone while tracking progress between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT tools like thought records and behavioral experiments can be assigned as between-session work and reviewed together.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practiced in session and applied to everyday moments people bring up during appointments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to emphasize. The choice is made together and can shift as needs change.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Clients can expect help organizing sessions to fit work, caregiving, or health demands. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep appointments during busy weeks. Ask about session lengths and the exact online options when scheduling.
