About Me
Hello and welcome to Better Help. That first step to seek out a counselor can be a tough one. I want you to feel safe sharing what brought you here in a non-judgmental atmosphere.
My name is Cyndie Kieffer; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Indiana. Additionally, I am also a Certified Professional Practitioner in Animal Assisted Play Therapy-R. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from University of Southern Indiana and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings through my career both with adults and children. Currently, I work with older adults and youth who are navigating a variety of concerns including anxiety, life changes and depression. I also have an extensive history working with adults with intellectual disabilities.
As a strengths based practitioner I meet clients where they are and we work together to achieve their goals. Through using a variety of therapeutic interventions during sessions it is my hope that you will feel heard, understand and empowered.
I look forward to working with you.

Reviews
Cyndie is such a supportive presence in my life and talking to her feels like chatting with an old friend. Her patience and kindness really shine through as she helps me to build confidence and maintain a positive outlook.
She’s amazing! Cyndie has been very responsive! She listens and asks the correct questions on what I need! I’m so glad I got matched with her :)
Cyndie gives me such positive and explain her advice very clear and well. She gives me several worksheets that make me determined into working on myself and more knowledge about issues. I enjoy talking to her all the time and she checks in on me regularly she’s amazing!
During this past month, I have been fortunate when being matched with Cyndie. She is kind, respectful, responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive. I cannot stop feeling so thankful for the time I’ve been able to spend talking with her because it truly has helped me in so many ways. I would recommend Cyndie to all of my friends without a doubt.
At first, I really wasn't sold on Bettehelp and the platform but Cyndie is awesome. She helps me feel confident. She helps me understand situations and that helps me a lot. She has helped me calmed down my anxiety so much. She really is awesome.
