About Cindy
Cindy McGraw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with adults and older adults on common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and parenting stress.
Cindy focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions include looking at past experiences that shape attachment and current relationship patterns.
Her work often involves building coping skills for stress, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people working through loss, body image concerns, shame, guilt, and life transitions such as midlife changes. Cindy pays attention to how family of origin issues and abandonment worries affect day-to-day choices.
When trauma is part of the story, she combines approaches that address painful memories and the reactions that follow. She helps people practice skills to manage intense emotions and reduce avoidance. The goal is clearer thinking and more reliable choices in relationships and daily life.
Cindy’s style is practical and relational. She talks through patterns, assigns simple exercises, and reviews what helps between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled to set initial goals.
How Cindy uses therapy approaches online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing small experiments and skill drills to change reactions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand relationship patterns and reduce repeated conflicts or withdrawal.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist offers guidance while the person sets the pace and goals for change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's needs. That process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what proves useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break or video sessions that avoid travel time. Ask about the session logistics offered when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
