About Cindy

Cindy Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who relies on evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical experience, she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and client-centered perspectives to address issues such as depression, panic, bipolar mood concerns, self-esteem, and relationship or intimacy-related challenges. Her work also addresses workplace stress, career transitions, parenting challenges, and concerns tied to identity and LGBTQ experiences.

Cindy brings a reflective and practical sensibility to therapy, helping clients explore patterns of thinking and behavior while cultivating values-based choices. She works with people confronting isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness questions, and midlife or life-purpose struggles, and she integrates approaches aimed at improving communication, social anxiety, and sleep difficulties.

Sessions are offered online using a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different preferences and schedules. Cindy communicates in English and provides services within Georgia; international clients are not currently accepted.

Practical approaches for online change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, aiming to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, low mood, and sleep disruption by teaching practical skills and behavioral experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing inner experience and clarifying personal values so clients can take meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present, which can be useful for stress, chronic worry, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathy, active listening, and creating a collaborative relationship that helps people feel heard and explore their goals at a comfortable pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor techniques from these approaches so therapy fits the person's life and priorities rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around work, family, and location constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity between sessions and practice new skills in everyday contexts while fitting into varied schedules and responsibilities.
