About Cynthia
Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and has worked across multiple clinical settings. Cynthia helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, anger, and related life changes.
She emphasizes listening and straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on what people are actually dealing with - snapped responses, ongoing resentment, work frustration, grief, or managing bipolar symptoms. Cynthia aims to be authentic and nonjudgmental in how she talks through problems with clients.
In practice she draws on client-centered work to follow the person's lead and build understanding. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems alive. Motivational interviewing supports people who want help making changes but feel stuck.
Cynthia has substantial experience with addiction and trauma settings and applies practical tools for coping and relapse prevention. She helps people set concrete goals, practice new responses, and track progress between sessions. The work is direct and task-focused when needed, and reflective when processing painful events.
People looking for help with anger will find a clinician who treats the emotion as part of broader life stress and relationship patterns. Prospective clients who want to start can follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or low mood. Motivational interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and strengthening motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on current problems, goals, and what feels practical. That collaboration can include trying a technique, reviewing how it went, and adjusting the plan together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding camera use when someone prefers. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to help clients practice skills, keep momentum between appointments, and apply changes in real situations.
