About Cindy
Cindy McGraw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She supports adults and seniors who feel stuck by teaching tools to cope and by helping them make small, practical changes. Her work also covers self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean looking at how past relationships shape current patterns, changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or focusing on emotions to improve how someone connects with others.
Background and approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is included among the methods she brings into sessions when appropriate. Cindy keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations include identifying thinking patterns, practicing skills for emotional regulation, and building communication habits that lead to better relationships.
She aims to make therapy feel practical and relevant to daily life. With 15 years of experience, Cindy has worked with a wide range of adult concerns. She prioritizes collaboration, listening first, and tailoring tools to what actually helps each person move forward.
That means short-term skill work when needed or deeper processing for long-standing wounds. People meet her for coaching around life purpose and midlife questions, for help with attachment and family of origin issues, and for dealing with guilt, shame, or isolation. Sessions are offered in English and use formats that fit different routines and needs.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and learn new ways to connect and feel safer in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms through short exercises and homework.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to focus on real-life improvements rather than fitting a specific label.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text sessions allow quick exchanges and ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make therapy flexible for different routines and needs.
