About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She works with clients experiencing relationship and intimacy-related struggles, grief, parenting and family concerns, sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem issues, and challenges tied to career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.
Her practice also addresses concerns such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and co-morbid mental health issues. Her clinical style blends evidence-based methods with an affirming, client-centered stance that aims to bolster resilience and practical coping skills.
Cindy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when appropriate, and incorporates attachment-focused work to explore relational patterns. Sessions emphasize collaboration, skill-building, and helping clients reconnect with values and purpose.
With 12 years of experience as an LPC in Texas (TX LPC 73820), she brings sustained clinical practice to complex presentations including addiction, LGBT-related concerns, and trauma recovery. Cindy offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs and supports clients in finding approaches that align with their goals and life circumstances.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Online sessions provide a platform to apply structured, skills-based therapies alongside relational work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection formed early in life to improve current relationships and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative and often combines elements from different models. The therapist works with each client to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then adapts techniques to fit the individual's needs rather than relying on a single method.
Online care is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or work commitments. These formats support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and consistent momentum in therapy while allowing clients to engage from locations that fit their daily life.
