About Cindy
Cindy Tenaglia is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. Cindy also addresses issues such as ADHD, eating and food-related concerns, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
She practices in a straightforward way that emphasizes practical problem solving. Sessions often focus on clarifying values, reducing unhelpful struggle, and building skills to manage emotions and behavior. Cindy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused methods to help people move toward goals that matter to them.
Cindy draws on a varied background in inpatient and outpatient settings. That experience informs work with people dealing with chronic illness, co-morbidity, bipolar disorder, and complex family-of-origin concerns. She has also supported people with abandonment and attachment issues and blended family dynamics.
Her approach includes coaching elements aimed at actionable steps and self-directed learning. In practice this can look like short-term goal setting, skill practice between sessions, and using the ACT Matrix to map choices and patterns. Cindy has experience helping caregivers manage stress alongside other life roles.
People who meet with her can expect focused, practical conversations about what is getting in the way and what can change next. Before scheduling, readers should confirm session formats and other logistics to make sure they fit their needs.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed actions toward those values while learning to reduce unhelpful struggle. It is useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on learning simple attention and awareness practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It supports people dealing with grief, anger, and ongoing stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cindy will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting focus based on what the client notices and values. Confirm the available session formats before booking so they match your schedule and daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. If you prefer particular arrangements, check the current session options and then schedule a first appointment through the matching process described on the profile.CAreas of focus
