About Cindy
Cindy McGraw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to feel less overwhelmed and more confident. Cindy aims to make therapy feel like a steady conversation rather than a lecture.
She uses clear, straightforward methods to address thinking patterns that keep people stuck. That can include learning new coping skills, adjusting unhelpful thoughts, and practicing ways to communicate more clearly.
Background and approach
Sessions often move between exploring past experiences and trying out concrete strategies for today. Cindy draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional experiences and how they shape close connections. She also uses attachment-based ideas to notice repeating relationship patterns, and client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools may be added to teach practical skills like emotion regulation and problem solving. Her approach is collaborative. Clients set goals and Cindy helps design steps to reach them, with attention to pace and comfort.
She pays special attention to issues such as abandonment, body image, family of origin concerns, and compassion fatigue. Cindy has 15 years of counseling experience working with adults and seniors on areas like parenting strain, midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support
How emotional work and practical skills translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those emotions shape important relationships. It can be useful for processing hurt and strengthening how someone connects with others.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at long-term patterns that affect trust and closeness. It helps people recognize repeating behaviors tied to early relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work focused on the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist responding in a respectful, nonjudgmental way.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions together. That way treatment fits both the situation and personal preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, jotting down thoughts between sessions, and keeping a steady connection on a flexible schedule.
