Cindy Burnett, LPC

Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with three decades of counseling experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions. Cindy speaks plain language and aims to be an encouraging listener who offers practical options for change.

Cindy believes life paths are shaped by family background, choices, and daily interactions. She works side by side with people to notice how they respond to events and to try different ways of thinking and acting. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on small steps that change how they feel and cope.

Her approach blends client-centered work with solution-focused and mindfulness strategies. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. These methods are used to address mood issues, anger, communication problems, and the stress of big life shifts.

Cindy has worked in schools and community mental health settings and has experience with students, adults with intellectual challenges, adolescents, and families. That background informs a practical style that values clarity, steady support, and achievable goals.

She holds a master’s in community agency counseling and a master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling from Clemson University, and she maintains the LPC credential. Cindy aims to help people build self-awareness, repair relationships, and move toward the life they want.

How Cindy's Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood and then practice clearer, more helpful thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's concerns. It aims to build trust, self-understanding, and motivation to try new behaviors. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they shape a plan that may draw from CBT, client-centered work, or mindfulness depending on the issue and the person's style.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work when in-person visits are difficult. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
