About Cynthia
Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on clear, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. Cynthia aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for a busy parent finding their way through difficult moments.
She takes a warm, listening-first approach. Sessions are down-to-earth and focused on what matters now. Cynthia values authenticity and nonjudgmental conversation as the foundation for change.
Background and approach
Cynthia uses a mix of strategies to match each person’s situation. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people facing change or struggling with addictions. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, practical goals and track small steps forward. These tools are applied in straightforward, parent-friendly language.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and many years working in community and clinical settings. Cynthia has worked with diverse life issues and brings that breadth into each session. She emphasizes steady progress over time and partners with clients to find workable solutions.
People who reach out can expect conversational sessions that focus on immediate concerns, realistic goals, and practical coping strategies tailored to their life and routines.

How Cynthia’s approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust. In a remote session this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people feel understood while they sort through parenting or relationship worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She treats approach as flexible and will adjust methods to fit the client’s needs in collaboration with them.
Online formats offer practical benefits for parents and busy people. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation while allowing sessions to fit into a tighter schedule. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
