About Cindy
Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with 30 years of experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside relationship, family, stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life changes. Cindy aims to listen without judgment and offer steady, practical support for parents trying to manage everyday challenges.
Cindy draws on straightforward, hands-on methods to help people change how they respond to problems. She uses client-centered conversations to understand each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
She pairs that with solution-focused steps and cognitive behavioral tools to build new habits and reduce overwhelming thoughts. Meditation and present-moment skills from mindfulness therapy are used to calm strong feelings. Those practices are taught in short exercises that can fit into a busy day.
Sessions often include concrete strategies parents can try between meetings. Her background includes work in community mental health and schools, serving adolescents, young adults, and individuals with intellectual challenges. That variety shaped a practical approach to communication and behavior, especially around blended families, adoption and foster care, and fatherhood issues.
Cindy earned a master’s in community agency counseling and a master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling from Clemson University and holds the SC LPC credential. She also completed the Global Career Development Facilitator credential to assist people facing career transitions. Her style is steady, encouraging, and focused on clear next steps.

Approaches that fit parenting and life changes
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your goals. It gives space for parents to talk about struggles without judgment and helps shape sessions around what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It breaks problems into small, clear steps and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, mood swings, or parenting stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches short exercises to notice feelings and calm intense reactions. These practices are introduced in simple ways that can be used during a busy day with children or work demands.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and life changes occur.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversations and longer sessions. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and quick problem-solving between meetings. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy parenting schedule.
