Cindy Hannigan, LPC

Cindy Hannigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the strain of life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction struggles, sleep problems, and career or parenting stress. Her work includes support around aging and geriatric issues and ADHD among other focus areas.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, practical goals. Sessions are about learning skills, trying different approaches, and finding what fits each person’s life.

Clinically, she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action. She also uses attachment-focused work to address relational patterns and client-centered ways to ensure people feel heard.

With 12 years of professional experience, she brings steady clinical practice and a focus on real-world results. Cindy aims to help people improve communication, reduce isolation, and rebuild a sense of purpose after loss or major change.

People often leave sessions with concrete steps to try at home. That can include new communication habits, routines for better sleep, or small behavioral experiments. Her approach is practical, paced to the client, and aimed at creating manageable change over time.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for coping with life changes, chronic stress, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Cindy will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That process may mix methods and change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try exercises and homework between meetings so progress continues outside session time.
