About Cindy
Cindy Burnett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with three decades of counseling experience. She helps people who are struggling with relationships, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency. Cindy listens without judgment and aims to provide encouragement and practical perspective so people can better manage daily life and strong emotions.
She believes life is shaped by family, choices, and how we respond to events. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and make small changes that add up. Her manner is warm and supportive, and she focuses on building understanding first before moving to change.
Cindy uses client-centered, solution-focused, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she starts by hearing the person’s experience, then helps set clear goals and practices that support new ways of thinking and reacting. Mindfulness tools are used to steady attention and reduce overwhelm.
Her background includes work in schools and community mental health settings and many years supporting adolescents, young adults, and families. She has experience with intellectual disability, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, ADHD, mood and personality disorders, and self-harm concerns.
Cindy earned a master’s degree in community agency counseling from Clemson University and a master’s in elementary and secondary school counseling, also from Clemson. She holds the LPC credential and has worked in South Carolina for most of her career. Her approach aims to increase self-awareness, mend relationships, and help people move forward in life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building trust. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward what matters most to them, which can reduce isolation and clarify next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and codependency patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These tools help when stress or strong emotions get in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. That may mean mixing strategies from different approaches over time.
