About Cindy

Cindy Dietrich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, eating and parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience and graduate training in mental health counseling, she draws on multiple evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's needs. Her work also addresses specialized concerns such as infidelity, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, postpartum depression, and sexual assault and abuse.

She uses a collaborative stance that emphasizes validation and active support while helping clients build practical skills for managing symptoms and navigating life transitions. Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered strategies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, EMDR for trauma processing, and motivational techniques to support change.

Clients can expect a therapist who prioritizes comfort and respect as they explore healing and develop concrete coping strategies. Cindy earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Central Florida and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University.

She provides individual therapy services throughout Florida and offers multiple remote session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Approaches for online healing and skills building

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression. It is practical and skill-oriented, making it well suited to structured online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship so clients can explore feelings at their own pace and build self-understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness that help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process; the therapist works together with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences and may integrate elements from different approaches as treatment progresses.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people engage in care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access therapy from home or another convenient location while still working with a licensed professional.
