Cindy Hackwell

Cindy Hackwell is a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) based in Nebraska who supports people facing major life changes after medical illness and other stressors. She focuses on practical help for anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy questions, and women's issues. Cindy aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.

She brings previous work from medical settings into therapy, helping people adjust after serious health events and cope with caregiving demands. Her background includes time working with people affected by domestic violence and experience in inpatient psychiatric care. That experience shapes how she responds in crisis moments and in transition periods.

Cindy uses a compassionate, client-centered stance that emphasizes listening and collaboration. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone wants to build readiness for change.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect practical strategies, skill practice, and room to talk through difficult feelings. Cindy aims to help people develop manageable steps they can use between sessions.

With three years of documented experience as an LMHP and a history in medical and inpatient settings, she blends clinical skills with an emphasis on real-life adjustment. People seeking help with mood, stress, caregiving strain, or women's issues may find this practical, steady approach useful.

How Cindy’s approaches fit online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to see different results. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experiences, with the therapist offering listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adapt as goals change. She uses a mix of listening, skill teaching, and motivational techniques so clients and therapist choose what fits best together.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy life, making appointments around medical or caregiving needs, and keeping contact between visits to maintain momentum.
