Getting to know Cienna Bancroft
Hi there, I'm Cienna!
My name is Cienna Bancroft, LMFT #123658. I am a Humanistic therapist who often adapts my approach to what works best for my clients. I primarily work with adults and teens and see individuals, couples, families, and all relationship styles. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University.
My approach
I have experience mainly in Humanistic therapy. However, I also incorporate CBT, DBT, and Experiential theories when working with individuals. For couples and families, I use EFT and Gottman methods as well. I like to tailor my approach based on what the client brings in and go from there.
My focus
I have worked with clients aged 5 to 75 and am open to all ages. I have the most experience with common concerns such as depression, anxiety, and life stressors. My goal is to be a sounding board for my clients' needs.
My communication style
I prefer to use humor in sessions when appropriate. I often tell clients that being the therapist might make it seem like I have all the answers, but that's only because I can observe from the outside. I'm very aware it's harder to do when you're in the middle of it. For that reason, I go at the client's pace and am understanding of that.
My journey to therapy
I became a therapist hoping to be a source of support for people. I love exploring relationships and the dynamics between people. Our world is so goal-driven that it often feels like there's no room to breathe, and I want to be that small hour for people that allows for a sigh of relief.
My goals for you
In the first session or two, I ask questions about what brought you to therapy and formulate goals from that. I check in often to make sure I'm on track with you. I believe the best work comes in small steps and prefer to celebrate mini-milestones with clients to help build morale.
My first session with you
In the first session, I ask open-ended questions that allow me to get to know you better.
