Cynthia Crockett, LPC

Cynthia Crockett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice in the District of Columbia. She is a member of the American Counselors Association (ACA) and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and she blends a strengths-focused perspective with practical interventions to help clients move past what keeps them stuck. Cynthia works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She also offers support for family and caregiver issues, blended family dynamics, attachment concerns, and midlife or purpose-related questions.

Cynthia can incorporate faith into counseling when clients request a spiritual or biblical approach, and she is equally prepared to provide secular counseling when faith is not part of a client’s goals. She is a Certified Aroma Freedom Practitioner and may offer essential therapeutic oils as an adjunct to help address emotional blockages when appropriate. Cynthia provides online premarital assessments for couples and works with singles who want to build healthy dating boundaries toward a happy marriage.

To reduce isolation and encourage connection, she leads a free Christian Singles discussion on Friday evenings and offers evening and weekend appointments. She is willing to pray with clients upon request and encourages building a supportive team to create meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Life Work

Cynthia often draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people address attachment wounds to improve trust and intimacy. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and daily stressors. When couples seek relationship work, Cynthia can incorporate Imago Relationship Therapy to help partners understand each other’s emotional needs and practice new ways of communicating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Cynthia partners with each client to consider their goals, preferences, and situation, and she tailors methods so therapy feels relevant and practical. She aims to adapt approaches over time as needs change.

Online therapy with Cynthia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from home, and fit counseling into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
