About Cynthia
Cynthia (Cindi) Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of clinical experience working in Missouri. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes, and she also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addictions, and anger.

Sessions are straightforward and aimed at reducing the problems that get in the way of normal routines and relationships.
Cindi often combines approaches that fit the issue at hand. She uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to work on values and flexible thinking. She brings in cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thought patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when people need help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing major transitions and caregiving stress. She has experience supporting people in LGBTQ+ communities and addressing attachment and abandonment concerns. Those with chronic illness, chronic pain, or complicated grief are within her scope of practice.
People who choose her often want direct, practical steps to manage strong emotions like anger or persistent anxiety. To begin, users follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session. Cindi works in English and accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, current problems, and day-to-day life. That may mean using ACT ideas in one phase and CBT or DBT skills in another.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and revisit techniques between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote use so sessions remain practical and focused on everyday change.
