Cynthia (Cindi) Stewart, LPC, LPCC

Cynthia (Cindi) Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience based in Missouri. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and codependency-related patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use to cope with life changes and manage strong emotions.

Cindi draws on straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to help people sort out what matters and what they can realistically change. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and move toward them. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming and better emotion regulation is needed.

Her style centers on clear communication and skill building. People learn concrete strategies for setting boundaries, handling triggers, and improving day-to-day functioning. She also works on relationship patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and living around someone else’s drinking or crises.

Cindi has experience supporting clients through career stress, caregiver burdens, chronic illness, and blended family issues. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and helps people cope with the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Sessions aim to combine short-term symptom relief with longer-term behavior change.

She provides services in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
