Cynthia Collins-Jackson , LPC

Cynthia Collins-Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, and issues related to women's lives. She works with concerns like depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, addiction, ADHD, parenting strain, and major life changes. Cynthia aims to create a calm, approachable space where people can talk through hard things and find practical next steps.

She spent several years working inside a psychiatric hospital and on Mobile Crisis Outreach before moving into private practice in 2016. That hands-on experience shaped her comfort with complex mood and trauma presentations. Cynthia also has background supporting first responders and people coping with severe stress reactions.

Her approach blends clear, skills-focused methods and trauma work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

Sessions are warm and direct, with room for humor and straightforward coaching. Cynthia encourages people to notice small wins and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She aims to help clients feel seen and to develop tools they can use between sessions.

People who prefer remote care can meet via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cynthia brings eight years of counseling experience to her practice as an LPC in Texas and provides services in English.

How her approaches work online

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Online sessions often include simple homework and real-time practice of new skills. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication; it is useful for intense emotions and impulsivity and can be taught through guided exercises during video or phone sessions.

EMDR supports the processing of painful memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation, and it can be adapted to remote work when appropriate. This approach can help with trauma, abuse, and post-traumatic stress symptoms when a therapist and client agree it fits their goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend methods to try. Together they adjust methods based on what helps most, combining skills work and trauma processing as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist demonstrate skills and observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief coaching, reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular work on goals while fitting therapy into a busy life.
