About Cindee
Cindee Oswald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience helping people find clearer ways forward. She works from California and offers a steady, practical presence for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and other life challenges. Her approach is warm and person-centered.
She listens first, then helps clients set goals that feel achievable. Sessions are paced according to each person’s emotional safety, and she balances encouragement with honest feedback when it will help progress.
Background and approach
Cindee draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and elements of EMDR when appropriate. She uses these tools to help people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful patterns, and build skills to manage strong emotions like anger.
People consult her for a wide range of concerns such as depression, bipolar mood issues, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship stress, sleep and eating struggles, hoarding, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those working through career shifts and major life transitions. Sessions are offered by video, phone, chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
Cindee typically responds to messages within a day and aims to make each session practical, focused, and respectful of where the client is right now.

Practical approaches for online emotional work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult emotions while making room for actions that match a person’s goals, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits for sleep, eating, worry, and stress management.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. That can make it easier to notice triggers and choose responses rather than react impulsively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, adapting techniques over time as needs change.
Online delivery offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into evenings, weekends, and busy schedules, while still focusing on practical steps and emotional progress.
