Cynthia Crockett , LPC

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on relationships, stress, and emotional well-being. She offers straightforward support for people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Cynthia speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Solution-focused methods steer sessions toward clear, achievable goals that build momentum.

Cynthia blends a strengths-oriented view with attention to faith when clients want that included. She is comfortable talking about spiritual concerns, and will integrate those themes only if the client requests it. She also offers coaching-style work for people figuring out career choices, life purpose, or midlife change.

Her experience includes supporting people with intimacy and communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and issues tied to guilt, shame, or isolation. Cynthia works with clients on sleep and anger concerns as well as longer-standing mood disorders and trauma-related struggles.

Sessions are available through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules. Cynthia practices in the District of Columbia and conducts work in English. The focus is on practical change, clearer relationships, and steps that can be practiced between sessions.

How Cynthia’s Approaches Work in Online Sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of closeness and conflict. In online sessions this can mean tracking how a client responds to stress, naming these patterns, and practicing new ways of relating during conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Through CBT in video or phone sessions clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try concrete behavior changes between meetings.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adapt methods so the work matches the person’s needs rather than forcing a single style.

Online formats make scheduling and consistency easier. Video calls let the work resemble an in-person session and keep visual cues in play. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick reflections, ongoing coaching, and brief between-session touchpoints. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, evening and weekend appointments, and different comfort levels with on-camera work.
