About Cynthia

Cynthia "Cindi" Crew brings a client-centered, trauma-informed framework to her work as an Independently Licensed Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio.

Background and approach

With 25 years of practice, Cindi emphasizes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside other trauma-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and the effects of past abuse. She frames therapy as a partnership that builds on each person’s strengths and lived experience.

Her clinical focus spans a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions such as divorce or career change. Cindi also attends to issues like isolation, postpartum adjustment, personality and mood disorders, self-harm, and seasonal mood shifts.

She aims to create an accepting environment in which clients feel heard and can develop practical skills for emotional regulation and resilience. Clients can expect an approach that values their expertise about themselves while offering evidence-based tools to address symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Cindi supports people as they take steps toward clearer goals, healthier coping, and more balanced lives.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions CBT can help address anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and practical problems by teaching skills for coping and problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Delivered remotely, DBT skills training and coaching techniques can support people managing intense emotions, mood dysregulation, and patterns related to trauma responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt CBT, DBT, or trauma-focused methods to fit the online format and the individual’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care from home or elsewhere. These options can reduce scheduling barriers, support continuity during life transitions, and allow skill practice between sessions with a licensed professional guiding the work.
