About Cindy

Cindy Cothran, LPCC, LPC, is a Tennessee-based therapist who draws on 18 years of clinical experience to support people through life transitions and emotional struggles. She approaches therapy as a welcoming space where an individual's best interests guide each decision, and she combines sincere engagement with gentle humor to build connection and ease the process of beginning therapy.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and other life changes. She emphasizes respect for each person’s worth and adapts her methods to fit individual goals, blending evidence-based techniques with an attachment-informed perspective. While attachment-based approaches shape much of her style, she integrates mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral methods, somatic work, Hakomi-informed ideas, and EMDR when appropriate.

Cindy aims to offer flexible, wholehearted care that centers on practical steps and emotional healing. As a licensed counselor, she brings professional training and a commitment to collaborative, individualized treatment planning. She seeks to help people discover clearer patterns, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of direction as they move toward the life they want to live.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day patterns, helping people understand how attachment styles influence intimacy, communication, and trust. This approach can be useful for those facing relationship challenges, family of origin concerns, or persistent feelings of emptiness.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can support people struggling with intense mood shifts, impulsive behaviors, or difficulty managing stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for post-traumatic stress and longstanding traumatic reactions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Cindy collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from the convenience of one’s own setting.
