About Cindy
Cindy Paillant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Cindy uses straightforward, empathetic conversation to help people find steadier ground.
She combines several approaches to match how a person prefers to work. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, client-centered listening to make people feel heard, and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and motivate change.
Background and approach
Cindy also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and attachment are central. Cindy has worked in outpatient and residential settings and led both individual and group therapy. That background informs a flexible style that adapts to real-life challenges like caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, postpartum concerns, and career shifts.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her way of working is warm and interactive. Sessions are aimed at clear goals that fit daily life.
Cindy blends coaching and psychotherapy to help clients practice new skills between meetings. People can expect collaborative planning, straightforward feedback, and practical steps to try between sessions. Cindy offers services in English and accepts international clients.
Therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Cindy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect, giving people space to lead the conversation and feel understood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take committed actions, which can reduce struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Cindy collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is helping, adjust the plan, and try different tools until a good fit emerges.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and more personal interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing written reflection. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or relocation while keeping the focus on practical change.
