About Cindy
Cindy Molina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career questions, and LGBT identity concerns. Cindy uses plain conversation and practical steps to help people talk through what’s weighing on them.
She commonly addresses issues that underlie guilt and shame, including attachment wounds, abandonment, adoption and foster care history, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment struggles, and complicated family patterns like blended family challenges and divorce. Cindy mentions work with kink and alternative sex culture in relation to identity and relationship matters.
Her day-to-day approach is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change, concrete skills for coping, and ways to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused care when needed.
Cindy offers therapy in English and Spanish and practices in New York. She draws on nearly two decades of experience to help people sort through guilt, shame, and the decisions that follow. Before booking, confirm the session formats offered at the time of scheduling.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cindy uses an ongoing subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How Cindy blends approaches and online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values, make decisions, and feel heard during difficult conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors that keep guilt and shame active. It uses practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy treats that as a shared decision and reviews goals, preferences, and life demands with each person. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than committing to one fixed path upfront.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or caregiving. Cindy’s clinical methods translate to virtual conversations through guided exercises, thought records, mindfulness practices, and focused problem-solving. Ask about the current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what to expect.
