About Cindy
Cindy Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, family and parenting challenges, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, and issues like eating and intimacy. Her focus also includes attention-related concerns such as ADHD and coping with major life changes.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns and try new ways of handling problems. Sessions often look at specific situations - a difficult talk with a partner, burnout at work, or trouble managing daily tasks - and map out small practical steps to try between meetings.
Cindy draws on client-centered methods that put the person's experience first, and on solution-focused and motivational techniques to build momentum. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Across 30 years she has supported people navigating divorce and separation, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, body image and fertility concerns. She also helps with communication problems, codependency, and commitment or control issues that make everyday life harder.
People who choose Cindy can expect direct, plain talk and clear next steps. She encourages clients to set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and reassess progress together. To begin, clients follow the platform's matching steps and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves open listening and responding to what the client brings, which helps identify the issues a young adult wants to address and how they want to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits like unhelpful eating or avoidance. Sessions often include concrete exercises and practice to try between meetings.
Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice stress and reduce reactivity. These are short practices and breathing or grounding exercises that can fit into a busy schedule and help with day-to-day overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then experiment with methods that suit each client. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework tasks.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into school, work, or caregiving routines. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or make it simpler to meet without travel time.
