About Cindy
Cindy Paillant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 17 years of clinical and coaching experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and questions about identity or life direction. Her style is warm and interactive, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
Cindy mixes practical skills with emotional work. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and respond to strong feelings.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach tools for coping and creating change. Sessions often include clear steps you can try between meetings. Her background includes individual and group work in outpatient and residential settings.
That range means she is familiar with grief, trauma, parenting strain, postpartum mood changes, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, career concerns, and questions about purpose. Cindy describes her approach as holistic, noticing how thoughts, body responses, and values connect.
She adapts conversation and goals to each person's situation. That makes room for coaching-style guidance alongside deeper therapeutic work. Many clients come for short-term skills and to manage symptoms.
Others stay longer to process losses or rebuild self-worth. Cindy aims to help people move toward clearer goals, better coping, and more self-compassion.

Online support
How emotion work and practical skills translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify strong emotions and change how they respond to them so relationships with self and others feel safer and more connected. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building small committed actions, which can help when anxiety or avoidance get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to notice thought patterns and try alternate behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean focusing on emotion processing one month and building behavioral tools the next, or mixing both in the same session.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short coaching moments, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or travel while still accessing consistent care.
