Cynthia Crockett, LPC

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on relationships and everyday stresses. She offers a faith-friendly, strengths-based way of working for people who want to talk about belief and for those who prefer a different approach. Cynthia emphasizes practical steps clients can take to move past what keeps them stuck.

Cynthia draws on attachment ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused work is part of her toolkit for setting clear goals and tracking progress.

She supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, intimacy concerns, sleep troubles, career strain, caregiving stress, and life transitions. Additional areas she addresses include blended family concerns, commitment and communication problems, family of origin issues, and feelings of isolation or shame.

When clients want faith to be part of counseling, Cynthia will integrate biblical perspectives and strength-based coaching. She describes options for using essential therapeutic oils through Aroma Freedom techniques for those interested in that approach.

Cynthia has about ten years of counseling experience in the District of Columbia. She offers evening and weekend appointment times and runs a free Friday evening Christian singles discussion group for those who wish to join.

How Cynthia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Cynthia uses Imago Relationship Therapy ideas, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Imago ideas focus on how partners repeat old relationship patterns and offer exercises to improve communication and understanding. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape trust and closeness and helps people build more steady ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify and test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change mood and stress.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with clients to consider their goals, relationship concerns, and personal preferences and then adjusts the plan as needed. She frames therapy as a team effort where practical steps and short-term goals are used alongside deeper relational work.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives, offering access to evening and weekend times. Remote sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or phone-only conversations when video is not preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt interactive exercises and homework assignments to work effectively outside of the office.
