About Cynthia
Cynthia (Cindi) Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience based in Missouri. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and the effects of major life changes. She also addresses addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity.
Cindi uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to build manageable strategies for everyday problems.
Her work includes support for parenting stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people dealing with chronic illness or pain, cancer-related concerns, blended family challenges, and relationship communication problems. She lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and separation or divorce.
Cindi integrates acceptance-based tools alongside behavior-focused techniques to address intense emotions and recurring patterns. That can include pacing emotional skills, problem-solving, and practicing different reactions to stressful situations. The emphasis is on practical practice rather than long lectures.
People who want structured, step-by-step help for mood, anxiety, or life transitions will find clear, action-oriented sessions. To begin, prospective clients follow the directory process to match and schedule a first session.
How her CBT and acceptance approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions using CBT involve setting clear goals, practicing experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match personal values. In remote sessions this can mean short experiential exercises, values clarification, and small behavioral steps to try during the week. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person’s concerns guide what comes next.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. That process is part of early sessions rather than a one-time choice.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports homework review and real-time practice of skills in ordinary settings.
