About Cindy
Cindy Cothran is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. She aims to make first steps into therapy feel easier and more approachable. Cindy believes therapy should feel like a place of emotional refuge and treats each person with respect and warmth.
Cindy brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work and adapts her methods to fit each person's goals.
Background and approach
She uses an attachment-based perspective to understand how early connections shape current relationships and patterns. Her sessions blend practical skills with attention to feelings and relationship needs. In session she draws from client-centered methods to keep the focus on the person in front of her.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when people need help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Cindy also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories when that approach matches a person's goals.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and body image issues, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and complications from divorce or separation. Cindy also supports people navigating non-monogamous relationships, BDSM and kink culture, fertility stress, and family of origin issues. Sessions are offered from Tennessee and are conducted in English.
Cindy provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. She aims to help people move toward clearer choices and more satisfying relationships.

Online support
Attachment and skills work through online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current patterns in relationships. It helps people notice recurring reactions to closeness, distance, and trust and learn new ways to relate. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and choices, offering a supportive space to talk through goals and feelings and build self-awareness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and tolerating stress in the moment.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to each person's history, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. That collaboration means techniques can change as needs change, with the client guiding what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when bandwidth and schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy days or work breaks. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching practical life demands.
