About Cindy

Cindy Paillant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience as a psychotherapist and life coach.

Background and approach

She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her background includes individual and group work across residential, outpatient, and office settings, and she also brings experience with adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, postpartum issues, pregnancy and childbirth, women's concerns, and young adult issues. Her therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and kindness.

She blends practical, evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies with humanistic and existential perspectives, and integrates mindfulness and positive psychology to support emotional growth. As a holistic clinician she views mind, body, and spirit as linked and tailors treatment plans to each client’s needs.

For those ready to make changes, she offers coaching and psychotherapeutic support aimed at empowerment and clearer life purpose, and accepts international clients for remote work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and build actions that match those values while learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and developing practical coping skills for issues like depression, anxiety, and addictive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses, which often helps with relationship distress and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and needs and adapt methods from ACT, CBT, EFT, and related perspectives to design a tailored plan. Clients and the therapist work together to evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust strategies over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules or geographic distance. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, handle scheduling constraints, and access licensed professionals from wherever you are located.
