About Cindy
Cindy Hannigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and issues like codependency and grief. She also supports people facing career pressure, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and the impact of trauma and abuse.
Her sessions focus on practical changes rather than labels. She helps people spot patterns that leave them putting others first and practice different choices. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at clearer boundaries, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day functioning.
Cindy uses several evidence-rooted methods to guide work in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clear on values and take action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, living around another person’s moods, or losing themselves in caregiving often find the focus is on concrete steps. This may include communication skills, emotion regulation tools, and experiments to try between sessions. Sessions also address related issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, body image, and caregiver stress.
Cindy works with LGBTQ+ adults and others navigating life transitions, identity, and relationship complexity. Sessions are collaborative and directed toward specific, manageable goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can be useful for people who want clearer priorities and less reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of responding. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current expectations and ways of relating. This can help people understand intimacy issues and patterns of people-pleasing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision. She will talk through goals and preferences and then try approaches that match what the client wants to change or learn.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can cut travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or make scheduling around work and parenting simpler. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice so they can be used between sessions and in everyday situations.
