    About Cynthia

    Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with two decades of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and has spent years helping people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and addictions. Cynthia aims to be straightforward, present, and non-judgmental in session so people feel heard and understood.

    Her work emphasizes listening first. She values an authentic, respectful relationship and encourages clients to set goals that matter to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes rather than long lectures or jargon.

    Cynthia uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods support people who are ready to change, need clearer thinking about problems, or want concrete strategies to move forward.

    She has worked in a variety of settings over the years and has experience supporting people through grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career problems, and compassion fatigue. Cynthia also supports those coping with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.

    Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people build coping skills, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and discover personal strengths. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

  2. Therapeutic approaches and online support

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own motivation to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to explore goals and strengthen resolve for steps like cutting back on substances or starting healthier routines.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers on creating an accepting, empathetic space where people can talk through what matters most to them. This helps when someone needs steady support to sort out feelings or make decisions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

    The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it possible to continue care when circumstances change. Licensed professionals tailor session length and pacing to what helps each person move forward.
