Cindy Burnett , LPC

Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 30 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families. She approaches each person as an individual whose life path is shaped by family of origin, choices, relationships, and responses to experience, and she aims to walk alongside clients as they reframe, manage, and change how they perceive and react to life challenges.

She offers empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental support, serving as an encourager and sounding board while helping clients find new perspectives for coping and growth. Her clinical work spans community mental health, school settings, and work with students and adults who have intellectual challenges. Over her career she has focused on relationship and family concerns, parenting, career transitions, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, ADHD, and life changes.

Cindy blends client-centered, solution-focused, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people reflect, accept, and change patterns that interfere with well-being. She holds two master’s degrees from Clemson University - one in community agency counseling and another in elementary and secondary school counseling - and she is certified as a Global Career Development Facilitator, qualifications that support both therapeutic and career-related work. As an LPC, she is licensed to provide counseling in South Carolina and she partners with clients to tailor treatment to their goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cindy integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, offering empathy and unconditional support to help clients explore values and goals. CBT is a practical approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to shift patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or mood difficulties. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cindy collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with people to tailor techniques and to adjust the plan as progress is made, emphasizing a respectful and participatory relationship between therapist and client.

Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care from home or other convenient locations, to use shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful, and to access licensed professionals even when in-person visits are not practical.
