Cindy Hackwell, LMHP

Cindy Hackwell is an LMHP (Licensed Mental Health Practitioner) practicing in Nebraska with three years of experience listed in this profile. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Before her current practice she spent time working in medical settings and inpatient psychiatric care, and she has experience in domestic violence work. That background means she is familiar with people managing major medical illness, end-of-life situations, caregiver stress, and complex medical or mental health needs.

In sessions she uses practical approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying small behavior changes, and finding what motivates a person to act differently. She also works on communication skills and coping strategies for intense moments.

Cindy tends to handle crisis intervention and practical problem solving when things feel urgent. She can assist with planning next steps and organizing immediate supports. For longer term concerns she will use structured tools and short experiments to test new ways of responding.

Her practice includes work related to aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, cancer and hospice concerns, postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, traumatic brain injury, and women’s health topics. Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at individuals seeking practical, structured help.
