Cindee Oswald

Cindee Oswald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 11 years of experience. She offers steady, compassionate support for people facing big life challenges. Her approach centers on listening, practical guidance, and helping clients set their own goals.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and substance concerns, along with relationship and family stressors. Cindee also works with issues like hoarding, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career transitions, bipolar concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. She includes coaching elements when clients want skills and structure for change.

Cindee uses Mindfulness Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Sessions are person-centered and paced to each client’s emotional safety. She encourages clients to set goals and takes a practical, navigational role in helping them move toward those goals.

Her style is described as nurturing and nonjudgmental, yet honest. She aims to provide clear feedback while supporting clients through difficult steps. Clients are expected to do the hard work; she stays alongside them as a guide.

Cindee typically checks messages twice daily and strives to reply within 24 hours. Most of her availability is during evenings and weekends. She asks prospective clients to consider whether her style, pacing, and range of concerns match what they need before scheduling.

How these approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It often uses simple attention practices and breathing to manage anxiety, stress, and sleep or eating concerns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to clarify values and take meaningful action even when hard emotions are present. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals lead the work. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation often happens in early sessions and can change as goals evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting commute time or allowing evening and weekend scheduling. It can also allow a quicker check-in when a shorter session is useful, or let someone avoid being on camera if that feels better. The specific session formats available with this therapist should be confirmed before booking so clients know how sessions will be delivered.
