Cindy Hamilton, LCSW

Cindy Hamilton is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - practicing in Wyoming with 30 years of social work experience. She has spent her career supporting people connected to the foster care and criminal justice systems. Her stated concerns include stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

Hamilton often draws on her long work with foster care and adoption situations to help clients tackle attachment and abandonment issues. She has experience with adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, fatherhood challenges, caregiver stress, and the special needs of children of incarcerated parents. She identifies post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, and emptiness among areas she addresses.

Her approach is direct and practical. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her practice. Sessions typically focus on concrete skills, behavior change, and problem solving rather than abstract theory.

Hamilton notes experience as a foster and adoptive parent and draws on that perspective while listening for each person’s circumstances. She emphasizes dignity and respect in meetings, and she is willing to brainstorm realistic ways to change patterns of behavior and parenting practices.

For people worried about anger, she offers grounded strategies to manage intense feelings and reduce snapping or buildup of resentment. To begin, readers are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling and to follow the listed route for setting an initial meeting.
