Cynthia Bennett, LPC

Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with two decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and life changes. Cynthia listens with authenticity and aims to create a supportive space for people to work through hard things.

She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and has worked in a range of settings. That variety exposed her to many situations and needs, from coping with trauma and abuse to dealing with relationship strain and parenting pressures. Her background also includes work around career concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood management, and compassion fatigue.

Cynthia uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches. She also incorporates motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when they fit a person's goals. Sessions focus on clear skills, short-term problem solving, and building strategies people can use between meetings.

Her style is direct but warm. She asks questions, listens carefully, and helps people set realistic steps toward change. Cynthia emphasizes collaboration, so clients help shape what therapy looks like for them.

People often come with a single problem they want to fix or a series of stresses that feel overwhelming. Cynthia helps break those down into manageable parts and tracks progress in simple, measurable ways. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful, not abstract or overwhelming.

Practical approaches for online support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping when feelings become overwhelming.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the individual name their goals, build self-awareness, and increase confidence in making changes.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Cynthia will work with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps people feel involved and clear about next steps.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and text let people send quick updates, work through short exercises, or check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady progress.
