Cynthia "Cindi" CrewLISW

Cynthia "Cindi" Crew is an independently licensed social worker in Ohio with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and the effects of trauma. Cindi aims to create a calm, accepting space where people feel heard and respected.

Her style draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, trauma-focused methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered care. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps people can try between meetings. Cindi emphasizes strengths people already have and helps them build on those resources.

She has worked across many concerns over her career, including bipolar mood patterns, grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges like ADHD and self-esteem struggles. Additional areas she addresses include postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, personality and mood disorders, and life transitions such as divorce and midlife change.

Cindi uses a straightforward, respectful tone in sessions. She listens first, then collaborates on goals and strategies. People often work on emotional regulation, problem solving, and coping tools that fit daily life.

Her practice centers on steady support and practical progress. If someone wants help sorting strong emotions, recovering after trauma, or finding clearer routines, she guides each step at a pace that fits the person.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as the expert in their own life. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on active listening, reflecting feelings, and helping people name their goals so work can move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In an online setting CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying short exercises between sessions, and tracking small behavior changes that improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. That may mean trying a skill for a few weeks and adjusting the plan based on what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in the moments they come up and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
