About Cynthia

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with relational perspectives to help clients move past barriers and build on their strengths.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she focuses on practical strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, and life transitions while also addressing intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, and career questions. Her work often connects thinking patterns and daily habits to emotional well-being, helping people identify small, actionable shifts that reduce distress and improve functioning.

Beyond symptom relief, she brings attention to attachment dynamics, communication patterns, and family-of-origin influences that shape relationships and self-concept. She offers a flexible, client-centered approach that can include faith-based discussion when requested, and she integrates coaching elements to support goal setting and forward movement.

Based in the District of Columbia, Cynthia provides a range of session formats to accommodate different schedules and needs and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits that maintain stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Work is practical and skill-focused, with strategies that clients can apply between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relational patterns influence feelings, communication, and intimacy, helping people understand and change interaction styles that contribute to relationship strain and emotional pain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting techniques over time to match progress and changing needs. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy is relevant and grounded in the client’s real-life priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to enhance accessibility and fit different routines. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, support for people with busy lives, and multiple ways to stay connected to ongoing care when in-person visits are not convenient.
