Cindy Gierko

Licensed Professional Counselor

“Providing telehealth throughout FL and NC. I work with individuals with anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions.”

About Me

I support individuals as they navigate the complexities of anxiety, trauma, grief, and significant life changes. Through secure telehealth, I offer a confidential space to explore these challenges from your home. My aim is to help you find clarity and develop practical strategies to move forward. If you are seeking understanding and guidance during difficult times, I am here to help.

Approach

Working remotely across Florida and North Carolina, I focus on practical, paced work that meets you where you are. Sessions blend careful assessment with trauma‑informed conversation and mindfulness techniques, and we set small, manageable goals you can practice between appointments. You can expect clear agendas, gentle tracking of progress, and ways to reduce overwhelm while adapting to change. This approach tends to help adults and older clients seeking steady, collaborative support through difficult transitions.
