Cindy Hannigan, LPC

Cindy Hannigan is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also supports those facing relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and challenges tied to identity and intimacy. Cindy brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work and aims to make therapy clear and practical.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on simple, usable skills rather than jargon. She listens first, then helps clients set doable goals and small steps toward them. Many people come for help sorting out life changes, career stress, or recurring worries.

Cindy blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act in line with their values. Attachment-informed work supports those dealing with early relationship wounds.

Clients can expect collaborative sessions where the therapist explains options and invites feedback. Practical tools such as thought records, behavior experiments, and values-based action plans are commonly used. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She works with people across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, caregiver stress, body image, and trauma-related issues. Cindy emphasizes respect and affirmation, including focused support for LGBT clients. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by multiple formats.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs. The subscription-based model can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often teach simple exercises like thought records and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. In remote sessions this can look like guided values work and small, measurable steps taken between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That teamwork means plans are adjusted over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day and to send brief updates or practice notes between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
