Dr. Cynthia Hanson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a doctoral-level psychologist licensed in Kentucky with over 30 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, anger management, physical and emotional trauma, PTSD, and LGBTQ concerns.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. I place emphasis on the client becoming their own “agent of change” by identifying areas for change or modification. Although I gather information about past history, my primary focus is about determining how to improve psychological, emotional, and life circumstances in the “here-and-now.” I will never tell you “what to do.” Instead, I will serve as a guide as you explore and consider the changes you want to make. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, but I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. A major benefit is flexibility – people can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals provide online treatment, and if someone decides a different therapist would be a better fit, switching is an option. For many individuals facing everyday mental health challenges, remote therapy offers a practical, effective path to support and recovery.
