About Cindy

Cindy Tenaglia is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 18 years of experience in clinical settings. She brings a warm, empathic style and a collaborative stance to therapy, emphasizing tailored support that helps people reduce struggle and pursue a more valued life.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with individuals, couples, and families across inpatient and outpatient environments, and she integrates coaching alongside therapy to promote practical solutions. Her clinical work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices and solution-focused techniques.

Cindy often helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family challenges, and issues related to ADHD among many other difficulties. She also addresses topics such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, attachment and family-of-origin struggles, eating and control issues, and career and parenting concerns.

Committed to partnering with clients, Cindy emphasizes self-directed learning and psychological flexibility as tools for change. She works to understand each person’s priorities and uses collaborative methods to identify concrete steps toward improved coping and more meaningful daily life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach is helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges in daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own strengths guide change; it supports growth when people need a compassionate, individualized therapeutic relationship.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods as needed to fit changing circumstances and priorities. This partnership helps identify whether ACT, client-centered work, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused techniques best support the client’s aims.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it practical to fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules. These formats increase flexibility for busy households, working professionals, and people managing caregiving or health-related responsibilities, allowing regular contact and continuity of care regardless of location.
