Cindy Hamilton , LCSW

Cindy Hamilton is an LCSW with 30 years of social work experience in Wyoming. She draws on long experience supporting people through trauma, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is relaxed and approachable, and she aims to meet people where they are.

Over her career she has focused on issues commonly tied to foster care and the criminal justice system, and she brings practical know-how around adoption, reunification, and caregiving stress. That background informs how she helps people facing abandonment, attachment struggles, and the effects of abuse or neglect.

Cindy uses straightforward methods in the room. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps address negative thinking and mood, while motivational interviewing supports change when people feel stuck.

Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to build emotion regulation, reduce anxiety, and manage anger. Conversations often include problem-solving around everyday parenting and relationship issues, and planning steps for healthier patterns.

Clients working on self-esteem, purpose, or recovery from trauma can expect practical tools and homework that fit their lives. Cindy values dignity and respect and invites different perspectives during sessions.

Her experience also includes supporting people after loss and major life changes. She combines clinical approaches with real-world insight from parenting and social work roles to help clients practice new skills and make steady progress.

Practical approaches you can use online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and changing patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships; it is useful for strong reactions and anger management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest methods that fit your situation. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online sessions make this kind of work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when scheduling short bursts of support. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still working on CBT and DBT skills.
