About Cindy

Cindy Fabico is a licensed mental health counselor and marriage and family therapist with 22 years of clinical experience. She blends practical tools with focused conversation to help people make changes that matter outside of sessions.

Background and approach

People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression, and life coaching. Her way of working pairs relationship-focused methods with person-centered care.

Cindy draws on the Gottman Method to look at patterns between people and on attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current reactions. She also uses emotionally-focused and existential approaches when feelings and meaning are central concerns.

Clients can expect clear goals and concrete exercises to practice between meetings. Cindy emphasizes hands-on strategies for communication problems, commitment worries, and codependency.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment, infidelity, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. Cindy has experience addressing life-stage and caregiver concerns, including aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and caregiver stress.

She helps people work through guilt, shame, emptiness, and forgiveness so they can move toward practical next steps. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Florida and international clients.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative - she helps clients name what matters and then builds step-by-step plans to reach those goals.

How relationship work and attachment ideas fit online

Gottman Method focuses on identifying interaction patterns and building better communication habits; it is useful when couples or partners want clearer, more constructive ways to talk and solve problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles affect present behavior and helps people understand emotional responses and safety needs. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and uses active listening and empathy to help people find their own answers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. Together the client and therapist check in and adapt the approach as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that rely on seeing expressions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for ongoing support between appointments or when written reflection helps the process. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
