About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She works with clients who are dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and major life changes. Her style is warm and affirming, with a focus on practical steps people can try between sessions.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing different ways to think about hard situations, or looking at attachment patterns that affect relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward, not overwhelming. Cindy brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. She supports LGBTQ+ individuals and people navigating identity or career questions, while also addressing medical or caregiving stress and long-term conditions.
Her background includes helping people manage sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and issues that come with adoption or blended family dynamics. In the counseling room she prioritizes clear goals and small, doable changes. Clients often focus on communication, boundary-setting, and building routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Counseling can include brief skill teaching, reflective conversation, and planning for real-life steps. Therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decision-making when life feels stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns, which often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and keeping what helps most as work progresses.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging allow for brief check-ins and ongoing reminders between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or other obligations while still accessing licensed professionals who provide structured support.
