Cynthia Fulton-Solomon , LCSW

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of clinical experience. She earned her master’s degree from Southern University of New Orleans with a concentration in children, youth, and families, and she brings a warm, easygoing presence to her work that emphasizes empathy, attentive listening, and a sense of humor.

She has worked with people across the lifespan and with a wide range of concerns. Cynthia currently provides individual and group counseling within the juvenile justice system for youth who have been adjudicated, focusing on practical goals that support successful probation or parole within the community. Her background includes extensive work with depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, chronic homelessness, substance use issues, and more severe mental health and personality disorders. She also assists clients coping with medical challenges and the transition from homelessness.

Cynthia has deep experience supporting elementary, middle, and high school students when earlier interventions have not resolved academic, emotional, behavioral, or social difficulties. She has worked directly with students on social and coping skills and helped teachers consider familial, cultural, and community factors that shape student responses to instruction and learning.

Her clinical approach is flexible and client-focused, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, behavioral modification techniques, and client-centered therapy. She adapts methods to fit each person’s needs and engages with respect and collaboration to explore concerns and pursue practical solutions.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Cynthia integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her work, tailoring them to the person in front of her. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and builds a collaborative relationship that supports exploration of personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She considers the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without adding long travel or logistical barriers.
