Cynthia "Cindi" Crew

Cynthia "Cindi" Crew is an Independently Licensed Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and trauma. Cindi aims to create a welcoming space where a person feels heard and respected before any plan is made.

Her work draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address difficult memories and strong emotions. She also uses client-centered methods and tools from cognitive behavioral work to help people notice patterns and try new coping skills. Sessions tend to center on practical strategies and steady emotional support rather than abstract theory.

Cindi believes the person in therapy knows their story best. She helps people identify strengths they already have and puts those strengths to work when facing change. That can mean building routines, practicing emotion regulation skills, or learning steps to reduce overwhelm.

Over the years she has supported people with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem struggles, grief, anger, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also works with challenges such as postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, personality and mood disorders, and issues tied to separation or midlife transitions.

When someone reaches out, Cindi begins by listening to what matters most and tailoring each session to the person’s goals. She guides practical skill-building and offers steady support while people work toward greater balance and resilience.

How these approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change reactions. Online sessions can focus on simple homework, thought records, and planned behavior changes that translate easily into daily life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely addressing traumatic memories and building skills to regulate strong emotions. In remote sessions the therapist and client work at a steady pace, using grounding and emotion-regulation strategies alongside careful discussion of difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That decision is revisited as needed so work stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. It also supports doing real-world homework between meetings so skills can be practiced where life happens.
