Cindy Hannigan , LPC

Cindy Hannigan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Cindy brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions and works to make therapy practical and understandable.

Cindy uses several evidence-informed methods to guide people through change. She focuses on skills people can use between sessions, like managing difficult thoughts, improving communication, and building routines that support better sleep and mood. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's needs.

With 12 years of experience, Cindy draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. She blends those methods to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns, including attachment or trauma-related concerns. This helps people reduce symptoms and gain clearer direction for next steps.

Cindy offers care that is affirming of LGBT identities and attentive to diverse life experiences. She also works with people coping with medical issues, caregiving stress, and major life transitions. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on practical change.

Clients connect with Cindy from Texas and meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She conducts sessions in English and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward a more meaningful life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand and shift how they connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life circumstances, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is good for a full session with face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a simpler alternative when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in more frequently and use brief written exchanges for coaching and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get regular help while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
