Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in Frisco, TX
Dr. Cindy works with adults across all walks of life — from high-achievers navigating burnout and identity shifts to individuals rebuilding after difficult seasons, to those who simply know they're capable of more and are ready to stop getting in their own way. Sessions draw from somatic (body-based) therapy, cognitive behavioral frameworks, and trauma-informed clinical practice. Clients come in feeling reactive, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed — and leave with a clearer sense of themselves, stronger emotional regulation, and the internal tools to navigate whatever life brings next.

My clients often come to me with life transition issues (teens, parenting challenges, relationship issues, major life events, trauma) and are experiencing a loss of identity, lack of direction and symptoms of pervasive anxiety . Together we explore with compassion for the journey to this point, identifying the life worth living and develop a cohesive treatment plan to meet those goals. Through peeling back layers of an onion, we tackle areas of trauma, hurt, shame as we grow empathy for self and tools to start actively changing the cycle of pain. My proudest moment is when a client is able to step down in treatment as goals are met.

I provide neuropsychological testing to children, adolescents and young adults to give an overview of cognitive abilities to determine individual strengths and weaknesses.

From the outside, your life looks put together. Careers are steady, responsibilities handled, and everything seems “fine.” But at home, conversations feel tense, disagreements repeat, and one person often feels unheard while the other feels criticized or shut down. Whether it’s between partners or within your family, the emotional distance grows — even though everyone is trying and genuinely cares. Many high-functioning couples and families I work with experience this hidden stress daily, feeling like connection is slipping despite their best efforts.

With 23 years of experience in many many different counseling settings, I have curated my craft as a therapist. While I have had experience dealing with acute psychiatric disorders and substance abuse, my favorite population to work with is individuals seeking personal growth emotionally and spiritually. I have studied theology most of my adult life alongside psychology, and I’ve learned to integrate the two in ways that are more fruitful than either one alone.

You might look like you have it together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted. Maybe anxiety follows you quietly. Maybe relationships feel heavy. Maybe you’re trying to balance faith, culture, family expectations, and your own growth. You don’t just want coping skills — you want clarity, steadiness, and real change.

I’ve been a mental health counselor for 20 years and enjoy working with all ages. My experience includes play, activity and sand tray therapies along with Cognitive Behavior Therapy and I’m EMDR certified. I enjoy helping clients figure out where the unhealthy thinking styles come from and learn new ways to think. With all clients, I work towards developing trust and rapport by creating a safe, therapeutic space. My style is making clients feel comfortable with a warm, outgoing and fun atmosphere, which can work very well for those nervous about coming to therapy.

Does parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) work?
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be effective across domains, including for children with behavioral problems, those on the autism spectrum, and those who have experienced early childhood trauma. Further, studies have found that the skills developed through PCIT benefit not only the child in therapy but also siblings, as the parent internalizes lessons learned in sessions and is able to incorporate them into interactions with other family members.
How long does PCIT last?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and treatment lasts, on average, between 12 and 20 sessions. Factors that influence treatment duration include how regularly a client attends treatment, how much progress is achieved between sessions, the particular skills that need development, and the extent to which the parent and therapist see improvement.
Can PCIT be done online?
PCIT is among the therapy types best suited for video sessions. Therapists are able to communicate with parents with essentially the same ease, and by observing the parent and child at home in their normal environment, the therapist may gain additional insight into their interactions, as the child will have their normal toys and may feel more comfortable and act more naturally than they would in a therapist’s room.
Does PCIT help parents?
In addition to the skills parents develop through the treatment, PCIT has also been shown to reduce frustration, stress, and depression in parents and promote confidence and a sense of calm when dealing with their children. The desired outcomes of PCIT include a reduction in defiant and aggressive behavior by children and an improvement in communicating their feelings productively, complying with parental instruction, and behaving according to parents’ rules. Growth in these areas can be a relief for parents.
