Cynthia Fulton-Solomon, LCSW

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, parenting stress, and life transitions. Cynthia listens with warmth and humor and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered techniques and dialetical behavior strategies to build practical skills. Sessions often include goal-setting, problem-solving, and learning coping tools you can try between meetings. Cynthia adapts her approach to what each person needs rather than following a single template.

Cynthia has worked across settings that include juvenile justice, schools, and community outreach. That experience shaped her work with young people, caregivers, and adults facing substance use, homelessness, or severe stress. She also brings experience supporting people coping with grief, family conflict, caregiver strain, and aging-related concerns.

In sessions she emphasizes clear steps and achievable goals. That might mean practicing new responses to anger, building routines for mood management, or trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety. She aims to make therapy practical and focused on real-life improvements.

People who choose Cynthia can expect direct listening, collaborative planning, and an easy-going manner. She invites clients to share their story and work toward solutions at a pace that fits their life.

Online approaches and practical teletherapy options

Many of Cynthia's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is useful for managing mood, anxiety, addictions, and building step-by-step coping plans. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people set their own goals while feeling understood and respected. That approach can help people gain confidence and clarify what they want to change.

Cynthia also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies when needed, teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be especially helpful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship strain. Finding the best mix of approaches is collaborative - she works with each person to decide what fits their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life, and adjusts methods over time based on progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while still focusing on practical skills and measurable goals.
