About Cindy

Cindy Hannigan is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life changes.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience she combines practical strategies and compassionate listening to help clients move through grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, and identity questions including LGBT concerns. Her work also extends to mood disorders such as bipolar, sleep difficulties, anger and self-esteem struggles, and coaching for navigating major life shifts.

Her style blends evidence-based techniques with a client-centered attitude, prioritizing collaboration and individualized goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to reframe unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify values and build willingness, and attachment-informed perspectives to address relational patterns.

Clients can expect an affirming therapeutic relationship that focuses on skills, insight, and gradual behavioral change while honoring each person’s unique story and strengths.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach used to help people clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve communication, trust, and closeness in interpersonal relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and then recommend or blend methods that feel like the best fit. This makes it easier to adjust strategies over time if priorities change or new challenges emerge.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction when in-person visits are not possible, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give additional flexibility for follow-up, skills practice, or shorter check-ins between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care more accessible and easier to maintain alongside work, family, and other commitments.
