LMFT, 8 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m Cindy Ransom, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Parenting/Mindset Coach with nearly 10 years of experience helping individuals and families find more balance, calm, and confidence. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, and OCD, as well as parents who feel overwhelmed by the challenges of raising children. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, ERP, and Motivational Interviewing, along with strengths-based Positive Psychology. I provide virtual therapy for clients in Florida and New York, and I also speak Spanish to serve a wider community. I’m passionate about helping clients move from feeling stuck to creating meaningful, lasting change.
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know one another and talking through what brought you to therapy. Together, we’ll begin setting clear, realistic goals so you know exactly what to expect from our work together. I believe in being direct and collaborative, so I’ll also outline what participation looks like in the therapeutic process—things like open communication, trying out strategies between sessions, and reflecting on progress. My goal is for you to leave the first session with a sense of direction, a clear understanding of our plan, and the reassurance that you have support as we move forward.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my focus on helping clients create meaningful change without feeling like they’ll need to be in therapy forever. My goal is to equip you with the tools, strategies, and confidence to manage challenges on your own, so that over time you begin to depend on therapy less and less. I take a direct, honest, and straightforward approach that is supportive while keeping us focused on your goals. I also believe that concentrated, intentional work—even in a shorter time frame—can lead to powerful results. This makes my style especially effective for brief therapy with lasting impact.
My ideal clients are adults who feel weighed down by anxiety, stress, or OCD, and parents who are tired of feeling burned out and disconnected at home. Many of the people I work with want to set healthier boundaries, manage overwhelming emotions, and break free from patterns that no longer serve them. They are ready for real change—even if they’re not sure where to start—and value a supportive, honest, and action-focused approach. I especially enjoy working with clients who are motivated to build confidence, improve self-care, and create more balance in their personal and family lives. Together, we set clear goals and use practical tools to make progress that feels meaningful and sustainable.
I have nearly 10 years of experience as an LMFT and often incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) into my work. I use this approach to help clients identify their strengths, clarify what’s most important to them, and set achievable goals. By focusing on solutions rather than problems, I guide clients to create practical steps forward, build confidence, and see real progress in a shorter time frame.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients manage stress, negative communication patterns, and anxiety. CBT focuses on understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and replace them with healthier perspectives and coping strategies. This approach gives clients practical tools to reduce worry, manage stress, and build resilience in daily life.
I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in managing difficult thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. ACT emphasizes mindfulness and values-based living, helping clients accept what they cannot change while committing to actions that align with their goals and priorities. This approach is especially effective for reducing anxiety and stress while fostering long-term resilience and personal growth.
I specialize in using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based approach for treating OCD and anxiety. ERP helps clients gradually face feared thoughts or situations in a safe, supportive way while resisting the urge to engage in compulsions or avoidance. Over time, this reduces anxiety and increases confidence, allowing clients to break free from the cycles that keep them feeling stuck.
I draw on Positive Psychology to help clients focus on strengths, resilience, and what’s working well in their lives. This approach emphasizes building optimism, gratitude, and self-compassion, while also developing practical strategies to create more meaning and fulfillment. By highlighting personal strengths and successes, Positive Psychology empowers clients to move forward with confidence and balance.
