Cindy Hannigan

Cindy Hannigan is an LPC in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and issues linked to trauma and grief. She also supports clients dealing with parenting stress, sleep problems, workplace pressure, and identity concerns, including LGBTQ+ related challenges. Cindy emphasizes practical steps and steady emotional support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on small, manageable goals and clear tools clients can use between meetings. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and attachment-based ideas to improve how people connect with others.

Over 12 years of practice, Cindy has worked with a wide range of concerns from mood disorders and ADHD to long-term caregiving stress and body image issues. She encourages clients to try different techniques and keeps the pace flexible to match each person’s needs. Progress is measured in simple changes clients notice in daily life.

In sessions she helps people name patterns, practice new reactions, and rebuild trust with themselves and others. Work often includes improving communication skills, managing strong emotions, and planning concrete steps toward a life that feels more manageable. Clients are invited to set the goals and test what helps in real situations.

Cindy is available to people in Texas and conducts therapy in English. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches for online care and practical change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people who feel stuck move toward a more meaningful day-to-day life despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills for spotting unhelpful thinking and testing more balanced responses, which can ease anxiety and improve mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and practice different ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with each person to choose what fits best. That may mean trying one method first and adding other techniques over time based on goals and what feels useful.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people meet from places with quieter surroundings or lower time demands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for online work so progress continues between sessions.
