About Cindy
Cindy Hamilton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wyoming with 30 years of social work experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Cindy also lists codependency among her focus areas and brings long experience with adoption, foster care, and attachment concerns.
She has spent most of her career supporting youth and families connected to the foster care and criminal justice systems. Cindy believes children do best when they have a safe, stable permanent family whether through reunification, adoption, or guardianship. That view shapes how she talks with parents and caregivers about placement, birth family involvement, and adoption preparation.
Many years of child welfare work gave her repeated exposure to trauma, abuse, neglect, and the special needs of children with incarcerated parents. She uses that background when helping people handle abandonment, post-traumatic stress, and patterns that can follow into adulthood. She also draws on her lived experience as a foster and adoptive parent when discussing practical parenting choices.
Cindy’s counseling style is relaxed and she sometimes uses a bit of humor. She favors dignity and respect and listens for the perspective people bring. Her stated methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing.
In sessions she begins where people are and works with them to develop new skills and practical next steps. For those dealing with family conflict, parenting strain, codependency, or grief, she focuses on clear coping tools and problem-solving rather than abstract explanations.
How sessions work
Clinical approaches explained and how online sessions work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people name their priorities, which can be helpful for people who have lost a sense of themselves in relationships or parenting roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits for anxiety, depression, or problems saying no.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with impulsive reactions, intense anger, or repeated cycles of people-pleasing and overwhelm.
Finding the best mix of methods is part of early work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single method from the start.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed on the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and offer a way to check in that suits work or family schedules. Ask about session length and any technical details when you complete the matching questionnaire so the arrangement fits your routine.
