Cindy Burnett

Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with three decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Cindy aims to be an encouraging presence who listens without judgment and offers practical ways to move forward.

Cindy believes each person follows a unique life path shaped by family, choices, and daily interactions. She works alongside clients to notice patterns, reframe reactions, and build new ways of coping. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps rather than long lists of theory.

Her work draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person's perspective, and on solution-focused methods that aim for small, measurable change. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness. These approaches are used to help people reduce anxiety, manage anger, improve communication, and make career-related decisions.

Cindy has worked in schools, community mental health settings, and with people who have intellectual challenges. Over her career she has supported adolescents, young adults, and adults through parenting issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and mood or personality struggles.

Her background includes a master’s degree in community agency counseling and a master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling from Clemson University. She also holds a Global Career Development Facilitators Certification to assist people facing career transitions.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on the person's experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals based on what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online uses clear, task-oriented steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors between sessions. Mindfulness therapy online teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during life changes. It can also let clients try techniques in the environments where they live, work on step-by-step homework, and review practical tools between appointments.
