About Cindy
Cindy Llora is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Arizona and California with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, addictions, and challenges with intimacy and life changes. Cindy also helps people dealing with patterns linked to family of origin issues and attachment struggles.
She prefers a direct, practical approach in sessions. Clients talk through current problems and the thoughts that keep repeating. Cindy uses techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build new ways of responding. She sometimes brings music and songwriting into work with grief and addiction when it fits the person's goals.
Cindy draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, and dialectical behavior strategies. She combines these with a client-centered stance to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to work on now. Treatment aims are discussed together and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and dual diagnoses, and experience supporting veterans with PTSD. That work shaped how she approaches safety, pacing, and practical coping skills in difficult conversations.
Sessions are currently provided for people in Arizona. Cindy conducts an initial match using a short questionnaire and scheduling process to begin therapy through the site's booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding direction after life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses concrete exercises to challenge repeating negative thoughts and to build different responses for mood, anxiety, and coping problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current patterns. This work can help people recognize repeated family roles and shift how they relate to others and themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows methods to be adjusted as problems change.
