About Cynthia
Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She draws on three decades of work in Louisiana to offer steady, practical support. Her style is warm and easy-going, with empathy and a sense of humor to ease hard conversations.
Cynthia adapts what happens in sessions to each person. She listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and managing strong emotions like anger or grief.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with youth in the juvenile justice system and many years supporting people with mood disorders, trauma, substance use, and housing instability. She has also helped students and caregivers with behavioral, academic, and family challenges. Therapy with her may include one-on-one talk, structured skill practice, or short-term coaching depending on needs.
Cynthia uses familiar techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work, choosing what fits each person. She welcomes honest conversation about parenting stress, career transitions, addiction concerns, ADHD, and the slow work of rebuilding after trauma. Cynthia aims to help people make concrete changes that reduce daily strain and improve relationships.
Using evidence-based methods online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a focused approach that looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. It is useful for strong mood swings, impulsivity, and intense reactions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, creating space for people to tell their story and make changes at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs and goals. Together they check what helps, adjust strategies, and set clear steps to measure progress.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different days and schedules. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone can fit a short check-in or low-bandwidth days, and messaging supports brief updates or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving duties.
