About Cindy

Cindy Hackwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Nebraska who brings depth and compassion to supporting people through medical and emotional challenges. She has 16 years of experience working in medical settings, helping patients from young adults to elders navigate life changes that follow major illness and medical treatment. Her background includes crisis management and intervention, two years of focused work in domestic violence services, and time practicing within an inpatient psychiatric unit.

She uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to help clients develop practical skills, reframe difficult thoughts, and move toward meaningful change. Cindy emphasizes a compassionate, understanding approach, meeting people where they are and tailoring care to each person's circumstances. As a licensed clinical social worker - a credential that indicates specialized training in clinical assessment and therapeutic practice - she is experienced in addressing trauma, grief, mood concerns, and the stresses that come with caregiving and major health events.

She aims to provide steady support during transitions and crises and to collaborate with individuals as they build coping strategies and restore balance. She looks forward to working with clients who are seeking thoughtful, experienced assistance on their path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship that puts the client's needs and perspectives at the center of care. This approach helps people explore their feelings and values while the therapist offers empathy and support to guide growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. CBT often includes homework and skill practice that can be integrated into daily life.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation to change, which can be especially helpful for addictions and stages of change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Cindy will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from home, and maintain continuity when schedules or health needs change. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide consistent, skill-focused support aligned with each client's priorities.
