Professional Women's Counseling Services for Anxiety and Burnout in North Carolina

About Cindy Lineberger, LCSW, CSTIP

Therapy for Women in Hickory, North Carolina & Online Statewide

You’ve spent so much of your life showing up for everyone else — and somewhere along the way, you lost touch with yourself. The overthinking, the exhaustion, the “I should be handling this better” voice… it’s heavy. And I get it — because I’ve lived it too.

​

In my twenties, I was diagnosed with a chronic invisible illness. Since then, I’ve added more diagnoses to the list — and more compassion for what it means to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. I know how deeply anxiety, burnout, and painful intimacy can affect daily life — and how discouraging it feels when no one connects the dots between your physical and emotional pain.

That’s why I help women untangle anxiety, burnout, and intimacy struggles — so you can feel steady and whole again, even when life or illness feels unpredictable.

​

Together, we’ll blend practical, evidence-based tools with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed therapy to help you reconnect with yourself, calm your nervous system, and build trust in your body’s wisdom.

​

My Approach

Therapy with me isn’t about surface-level “how was your week?” check-ins.
It’s a compassionate, grounded space where we explore what’s really driving the overwhelm.

We’ll use approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and IFS-informed somatic work to help you:

• Understand your emotional patterns

• Reconnect with your inner parts and values

• Develop body-based strategies for safety and self-trust

• Create change that actually lasts

What I Often See in My Practice

Over the past decade, I’ve supported women navigating:

• High-functioning anxiety and overthinking

• Perfectionism and people-pleasing

• Caregiver fatigue and relationship burnout

• Confidence loss and intimacy challenges linked to chronic illness

These struggles may be invisible — but they’re real. And you don’t have to carry them alone.
