Cynthia Crockett

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, actionable help for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, career concerns, and life transitions. She frames sessions around strengths and barriers so people can take small, steady steps toward change. Cynthia talks plainly and offers options that respect each person’s beliefs, including faith-based work when requested.

Cynthia has ten years of experience guiding people through grief, depression, trauma, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. She uses tools from cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also integrates solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to set realistic goals and keep momentum.

When clients bring relationship concerns, she draws on Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to improve communication and connection. She can support people dealing with blended family challenges, caregiver stress, or family-of-origin dynamics. Cynthia also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, mood disorders, and the search for life purpose.

She offers practical resources like premarital assessments that take about 30 minutes to complete independently. For those interested, Cynthia may incorporate faith-based conversations and coaching. She sometimes uses aroma-based techniques as an optional adjunct when clients express interest.

Cynthia practices in the District of Columbia and works in English. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and fitting steps into everyday life so progress feels achievable.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and practice new interactions through guided conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems and works well through talk-based sessions and written exercises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client talk together about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean more toward attachment-focused conversations, CBT exercises, motivational interviewing for change, or solution-focused goal work.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, save time on travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written homework, worksheets, and conversation-focused work between meetings to keep progress moving.
