About Cindy

Cindy Molina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 19 years of experience. She sees adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career questions, and LGBTQ concerns. Cindy also notes a focus on blended family issues and related practical tensions that can come with merging households.

She aims for a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what a client wants to change. Cindy uses methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and build clearer communication in daily life.

Cindy often works with people recovering from trauma or attachment disruptions. That may include addressing abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, or long-term effects of neglect. She combines trauma-focused techniques with skills-based work so clients can feel steadier between sessions.

Practical problems such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, workplace pressure, and codependency are part of her caseload. Cindy draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused steps to break large problems into manageable actions. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and increase focus.

She provides services in English and Spanish and practices in New York. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling an initial session. The first meetings typically clarify goals and decide which approaches to try together.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns that keep repeating.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These skills help with stress, persistent worry, and emotional regulation between sessions.

Cindy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, trauma-focused work, or a mix makes sense given their goals. That plan can be adjusted after a few meetings based on what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list explicit options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to keep progress steady while working on communication, blended household routines, or stress management.
