Cindy Hackwell

Cindy Hackwell is a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with three years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also lists life purpose among her areas of focus.

Cindy draws on straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also works with cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes. Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck and need help moving toward goals.

Before her current work Cindy has experience supporting people after major medical illness and working in medical settings. Her background includes work with older adults and younger people affected by health changes, plus two years working with domestic violence issues and time on an inpatient psychiatric unit. That mix informs how she talks about practical coping and next steps.

In a session she will help people name immediate concerns, try concrete coping ideas, and set small, achievable goals. She discusses options plainly and revisits what helps as work continues. Sessions are suited to people who want clear steps for feeling steadier or making changes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood, stress, and coping after medical events by breaking problems into manageable steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes careful listening and reflection so the person feels heard and can find their own priorities. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation for change.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Cindy will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's needs and goals. She checks in about what is helpful and adjusts plans as progress and priorities shift.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Depending on the platform’s options, remote sessions can help people keep continuity of care while managing appointments around work, caregiving, or medical treatment.
