About Cynthia
Cynthia "Cindi" Crew is an Independently Licensed Social Worker in Ohio with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood dysregulation, and related concerns listed in her profile. Cindi uses practical methods to help clients manage difficult emotions and cope with change.
She relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in many sessions. These approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new responses. Cindi also draws on client-centered and trauma-focused methods when those fit a person’s needs.
In sessions she breaks problems into small, manageable steps. She and the client identify patterns that keep problems going, try alternative behaviors, and review what helps most. Work often includes skill practice between meetings to build lasting habits.
Cindi has long experience with mood disorders, bipolar conditions, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with career strain, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and isolation. Her background includes many years helping people through life transitions such as divorce and midlife changes.
People can expect straightforward collaboration about goals and measurable progress. She asks about what people have tried before and adjusts the plan based on what works. To begin, clients follow the site’s process to match and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads the topics and goals. It helps when someone needs to talk through feelings and choose what matters most to work on.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors. It suits problems like anxiety, depression, and patterns that recur in daily life because work includes concrete exercises and homework between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It is often used for mood instability, strong anger, and stress that affects relationships and work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindi will discuss goals and preferences during early sessions and adjust the mix of methods based on what the client needs. That collaborative planning helps set practical targets and decide which skills to practice.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, and letting people join when they have a quieter moment. Ask about the specific session formats available when starting the matching process.
