About Cynthia

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the District of Columbia with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and life transitions. Sessions can include conversations about faith when clients prefer that focus.

Her approach emphasizes identifying strengths and noticing what keeps people stuck. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies are used to notice thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger, low mood, or anxiety.

Cynthia also works with relationship issues using Imago Relationship Therapy principles to improve communication and connection. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and stay motivated through change. Solution-Focused work keeps sessions practical, with short-term goals and steps to try between meetings.

When faith matters to a client, she integrates a biblical, strength-focused perspective and will include prayer if requested. She offers coaching-style support for people wanting clearer direction in career, life purpose, or relationship decisions.

She provides resources such as an online premarital assessment for couples and runs a weekly Christian singles discussion group on Friday evenings. The practice offers evening and weekend appointments to fit different schedules.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and trying small experiments to change them. It is useful for anger, anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems because it breaks problems into practical steps and homework between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses. Online sessions can help people spot those patterns and practice different ways of relating, especially around trust, boundaries, and intimacy.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Cynthia will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Then she and the client decide whether CBT, attachment work, or solution-focused steps are the best next move and adjust as needed.

The biography mentions an online premarital assessment and group discussion times, but does not list all session formats. Confirm available formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, join a shorter assessment, or take part in an evening group without traveling. Therapists often use online sessions to keep momentum between in-person visits, to offer flexible scheduling, and to make brief check-ins more convenient.
