Cindee Oswald , LCSW

Cindee Oswald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 11 years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she holds a clinical social work license and has training in psychotherapy and clinical assessment, applied across a range of presenting concerns. She has worked with children, adolescents, parents, military veterans and their families, and people from diverse backgrounds who face challenges such as anxiety, trauma, depression, LGBTQ issues, substance use, parenting struggles, foster care and adoption concerns, and hoarding.

Her style blends person-centered warmth with clear, practical feedback. She works at the client’s pace, helping individuals set their own goals and supporting emotional safety while also encouraging reconsideration of self-imposed limits so clients can move toward the life they want. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, EMDR and mindfulness practices when appropriate, tailoring techniques to each person’s needs and preferences.

Known for a nurturing, nonjudgmental manner, she aims to help clients deepen their connection to themselves and build greater coping and resilience. She typically maintains evening and weekend availability and checks messages at least twice daily, aiming to respond within 24 hours. Cindee frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which the client leads and she offers guidance and navigation toward meaningful change.
