Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University. With 20 years of experience, she has supported individuals and families through a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and work-related transitions.

She draws on a collaborative and client-centered approach, emphasizing attentive listening, authenticity, and a non-judgmental stance to create a supportive space for change. Her training as an LPC reflects formal education and supervised clinical work in counseling, equipping her to guide clients through coping skills, goal setting, and problem solving.

Cynthia integrates practical strategies tailored to each person or family, combining evidence-informed techniques and motivational methods to help clients move forward. She also brings experience addressing compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar concerns, self-esteem, anger, and career questions. Throughout her practice, she prioritizes building rapport and partnering with clients so they can identify strengths, navigate life changes, and pursue meaningful growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cynthia Bennett uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as core methods in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth; this approach is helpful for people seeking understanding, emotional support, and stronger self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life transitions.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be especially useful for addictions, behavior change, and setting meaningful goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists to address pressing concerns.
