Cynthia Crockett, LPC

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people move past what keeps them stuck. She speaks plainly about stress, anxiety, grief, relationships, and trauma and abuse. Cynthia welcomes conversations about faith when clients want that included, and she also supports people who prefer a nonfaith approach.

She looks for each person’s strengths first and then helps identify patterns that get in the way. Her work often uses Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address self-esteem, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods to set practical goals and build new habits.

Cynthia has about 10 years of counseling experience and is licensed to practice in the District of Columbia. She offers coaching-style support alongside counseling to help people clarify life purpose, cope with midlife changes, or manage caregiver stress. Her background includes work with blended family issues, communication problems, and struggles with guilt or shame.

When faith is part of a client’s life, she may include a biblical, strength-based perspective and will pray with clients if requested. She offers premarital assessments that couples complete online, and she sometimes integrates aroma-based techniques using essential oils for emotional stuck places when a client is interested.

Her practice emphasizes practical steps, evening and weekend scheduling options, and short assessments to help match goals and next steps. Prospective clients in the District of Columbia should confirm session options before booking.

How Cynthia’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by teaching practical skills to change patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It can help with intimacy concerns, communication problems, and repairing trust.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approach or combination fits best. Sessions are collaborative and may shift as needs change, with concrete steps set between meetings.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow evening or weekend appointments, and support short check-ins or longer sessions as needed. It can also let clients use audio-only or video options when those formats suit their schedule or comfort.
