About Cindy
Cindy Hackwell is an LMHP - Licensed Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Cindy also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports people coping with relationship and parenting concerns.
She uses practical, talk-based methods to help people manage immediate problems. Sessions often involve clear steps and small goals rather than long lectures. Cindy names cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing among the approaches she brings to sessions.
Her background includes work in medical settings and experience helping people adjust after major illness. That work involved crisis management and supporting people across the adult lifespan. She also has experience with domestic violence situations and has practiced within an inpatient psychiatric unit.
In a typical meeting she listens to what is most pressing, helps sort priorities, and suggests manageable things to try between sessions. She draws on client-centered principles to keep the focus on the person's concerns and preferences. Mindfulness techniques are used when they fit the person's goals.
People contact Cindy when they need help coping with changes such as new caregiving roles, medical challenges, or shifts in family life. She offers straightforward, short-term strategies as well as support for longer-term concerns like mood disorders, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue.
How Cindy’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and preferences, using conversation to identify what matters most and deciding practical next steps together. It helps when someone needs a straightforward plan for coping or wants a space to sort decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then tests small changes to see what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and stress-related issues because it emphasizes clear steps and exercises between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will discuss goals, test methods, and adapt the plan based on what the person finds useful. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, or a mix fits best.
