About Cindy

Cindy Hamilton is a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience bringing practical, compassionate care to individuals and families in Wyoming.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centered principles to meet people where they are, combining a relaxed, approachable style with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Cindy emphasizes dignity and respect while helping clients build skills for coping with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions.

Her background includes extended work with youth and families involved in child welfare and related systems, which has informed a strong focus on parenting, attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, trauma and abuse, and the complex dynamics that surround blended and caregiving families.

She aims to support people as they develop healthier relationships, address codependency and family problems, and recover from post-traumatic stress or other forms of trauma. Cindy integrates mindfulness and dialectical skills when helpful, and she tailors strategies to each person’s goals and circumstances while encouraging practical steps toward improved functioning and self‑compassion.

Practical therapy approaches adapted for online care

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through structured strategies and homework exercises that translate well to remote sessions.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaborating with each person to shape goals and interventions. This approach supports people who want a therapist who listens closely and adapts techniques to their values and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss your concerns, preferences, and goals to decide which methods to try and will adjust them over time as needs evolve. This partnership helps ensure the treatment plan fits the person, not the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or another convenient location while working with licensed professionals experienced in these methods.
