Cindy Cothran , LPCC, LPC

Cindy Cothran brings 18 years of clinical experience to her counseling work and focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions. She approaches therapy as a place of emotional refuge, offering grounded support shaped by respect, curiosity, and a warm sense of humor. Her practice centers on meeting each person where they are and adapting methods to fit individual goals and life circumstances.

Cindy is trained in a variety of evidence-informed approaches and integrates them to match the needs of each client. She identifies strongly with attachment-based work, and also draws from client-centered principles, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and elements of the Gottman Method. This flexible, eclectic style allows her to blend mindfulness, cognitive behavioral ideas, somatic awareness, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate.

Her professional credentials include LPCC and LPC - both state counseling licenses that reflect advanced training and clinical experience. Cindy works with people facing issues such as stress, addiction, grief, parenting and family difficulties, eating concerns, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, and complexities related to sexuality and relationship structure. She aims to create a collaborative partnership that helps clients build skills, restore connection, and move toward the life they want to live.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Cindy often draws from attachment-based therapy, which explores how early and ongoing relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for people working on intimacy, codependency, family of origin issues, and attachment concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, which teach practical strategies for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. When trauma is central to a person's experience, Cindy incorporates EMDR techniques to help process overwhelming memories and reduce the ongoing impact of past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Cindy works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then tailors methods so the work feels useful and achievable. Licensed professionals and therapists consider flexibility important when adapting approaches to individual needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which expand access and make scheduling more flexible. These formats allow consistent work around busy schedules, enable sessions from home or other convenient places, and support continuity of care when life changes make in-person visits difficult.
