Cynthia Bennett, LPC

Cynthia Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chicago State University and practices in Louisiana. Cynthia focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and related life challenges. She draws on practical, straightforward work with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship issues. Sessions are conversational and centered on the person in front of her. Cynthia emphasizes listening, honesty, and a non-judgmental attitude in the room. Her approach blends client-centered care with goal-focused techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused strategies to build small, achievable changes. Motivational interviewing supports people working through ambivalence about change. Cynthia also helps with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. She supports those dealing with bipolar challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue by working on routines and practical coping steps. People who value clear feedback, steady support, and a collaborative plan tend to do well with her style. She describes counseling as a team effort where realistic goals guide each session. To get started, the site process will match you and allow scheduling when you are ready.

How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals based on their values and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses gentle questions to build motivation and clarify what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will talk with clients about needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real-life situations and keeps goals practical.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the session options before you book since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow quieter, focused conversations without travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and tracking to fit virtual sessions so progress stays practical and goal oriented.
