About Cindy

Cindy Paillant is a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of experience offering psychotherapy and life coaching. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting challenges, grief, and career or life transition concerns.

Background and approach

Her clinical style is warm, compassionate, and interactive, with an emphasis on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs.

Cindy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and emotionally focused ideas, drawing on existential perspectives when appropriate. She frames healing as a holistic process that connects mind, body, and spirit and combines practical tools with supportive coaching to promote growth and coping skills.

Clients can expect collaborative work that balances symptom-focused strategies with exploration of values and meaning. Cindy welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English from her Florida practice, aiming to empower people who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilled life.

Combining evidence-informed approaches with online convenience



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by practicing acceptance and committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients feel heard and supported while exploring solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration can include trying different techniques over time and adjusting the plan as progress and insights develop.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives or to connect from different locations. These formats support ongoing work on skills, coping strategies, and personal goals while allowing clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
