About Cindy

Cindy Baker is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and areas such as career and parenting. Cindy also addresses guilt and shame when those feelings arise in therapy.

She takes a practical, conversational approach. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, usable changes people can try between meetings. Cindy uses methods that encourage clearer thinking and more intentional choices rather than abstract theory alone.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Psychology and long experience running a private counseling practice in Georgia. Over two decades she has explored mindfulness, meditation, and approaches that center on values and behavior change. Her work also draws on thinking about emotion and connection in close relationships.

In sessions she mixes acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques and client-centered listening. Emotionally-focused work informs how she addresses patterns in relationships and intimacy. This blend is used to help people untangle guilt, shame, anxiety, and problems at work or home.

Cindy has written about balancing work and family life and offers counseling with a practical, creative sensibility. People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation about what’s hard, options to try, and follow-up on what helps between sessions.

How Cindy uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them. It is often used when guilt, shame, or anxiety get in the way of taking steps toward a chosen life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress. It is a common choice for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on what the client notices and reports.

The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not feasible. Talking with a licensed professional by remote means can let clients practice new skills in their regular routines and bring real-life examples into sessions for discussion.
