Cynthia Fulton-Solomon , LCSW

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on women's issues among a broad range of concerns and aims to create a calm, approachable space where clients can talk things through. Cynthia uses straightforward listening, empathy, and a bit of humor to build trust and set practical goals.

She draws on many years helping people with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship problems. Much of her work has involved adolescents in the juvenile justice system, and she has also supported people facing homelessness, chronic medical challenges, and grief. That background informs a pragmatic approach to day-to-day coping and safety planning.

Cynthia commonly uses client-centered methods that let the person guide sessions. She also works with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing change or recovery options.

In sessions she shifts methods to fit each person’s needs, focusing on clear steps and skills people can use between meetings. She has experience running both individual and group work, and she supports parents and caregivers dealing with stress and blended family dynamics.

Cynthia practices in Louisiana and offers online options as well as phone and text-based support. She welcomes honest conversation about goals and practical next steps, and she helps people find ways to manage stress, rebuild routine, and move toward healthier functioning.

How Cynthia’s Methods Translate to Online Work

Cynthia uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core tools. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person’s concerns and pace, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice thought patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques when emotional regulation and tolerating distress are primary goals. DBT skills teach concrete strategies for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors. These methods can be taught and practiced in remote sessions with guided homework and skill rehearsal.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, handle brief coaching moments, or practice skills without traveling to an office.
