About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around identity and intimacy.
She uses clear, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping, improving communication, and handling strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work.
Cindy helps clients break problems into manageable steps. That can mean tracking patterns that keep stress or low mood going, practicing new ways to talk in relationships, or learning grounding skills for intense feelings. She explains ideas plainly and sets concrete goals to try between sessions.
Her background includes a range of clinical approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which she draws on depending on the issue. She supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, workplace stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and other overlapping issues.
People who want a straightforward, skills-based way to cope often find this approach useful. Sessions emphasize learning and doing - noticing what isn’t working, testing alternatives, and tracking what changes.

How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then test different, more helpful ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by setting small experiments and homework between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying valued directions and building willingness to feel difficult emotions while taking action that matters. It can help when avoidance or uncertainty gets in the way of daily functioning. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how past bonds affect current trust and communication. It can help with intimacy-related concerns, attachment issues, and relationship patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on current goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work or family commitments around sessions, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets therapists and clients use worksheets, recordings, and screen-shared materials to practice skills between meetings.Areas of expertise
