About Cindy
Cindy Burnett is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina with 30 years of experience. She works with relationship stress, parenting and family issues, career concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and other challenges young adults often face.
She focuses on clear, practical conversation. Sessions look at how early family experiences, life choices, and everyday reactions shape current problems. She helps people name what is happening, find small changes that make life easier, and try new ways of responding to stress and conflict.
Cindy uses client-centered listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. That means paying attention to what feels important to the person while also trying concrete steps and thought strategies that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Her background includes school and community mental health settings and work with people who have intellectual challenges. She has experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults through relationship struggles, blended family issues, mood disorders, anger, and life transitions.
Cindy earned a master’s degree in community agency counseling from Clemson University and holds LPC credentialing for South Carolina. She also completed a second master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling and a Global Career Development Facilitator credential to support career transitions.
People who choose to work with her tend to be looking for straightforward discussion, practical strategies, and steady support while they navigate early adult pressures such as moving out, starting work, relationships, and figuring out next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tests small changes to reduce anxiety or depression. It is practical work for someone juggling studies, work, or relationship stress.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone is sorting identity, life purpose, or complicated family feelings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Cindy will discuss goals and preferences and will adjust tools and pacing together with each person. The process is collaborative rather than fixed, so techniques can shift as needs change.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around classes, work shifts, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when that helps. Phone sessions may use less bandwidth and work for quick symptom checks, while video can allow fuller conversation and visual cues. Ask about specific session lengths and formats when you schedule.
