Cynthia Fulton-Solomon, LCSW

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon brings decades of social work experience to her practice, holding both a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential, which authorizes her to provide clinical therapy. She earned her master of social work degree from Southern University of New Orleans with a concentration in children, youth, and families, and she works comfortably with clients across the lifespan.

Cynthia adapts her therapeutic style to the unique needs of each person, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction, behavioral modification, and client-centered methods. Her approach is easy-going and warm, rooted in empathy, attentive listening, and a touch of humor, which helps people feel understood as they explore change.

Currently employed in the juvenile justice system, she provides individual and group counseling to youth who have been adjudicated, focusing on practical goals that support successful probation or parole within the community. Her clinical experience spans depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, chronic homelessness, substance use concerns, severe mental health conditions, and personality disorders, as well as adjustment needs tied to medical or housing transitions.

She has extensive background working with school-aged children to address academic, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, and she collaborates with teachers to clarify how family, culture, and community influence student learning. Cynthia engages with clients respectfully and with genuine interest in their stories, working together to identify solutions and steps toward improved well-being.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Collaborative Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and goals of work; this approach is helpful for people seeking acceptance, self-exploration, and stronger coping resources. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skills practice, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthens commitment by exploring ambivalence in a collaborative, respectful way - it is frequently used when facing substance use challenges or other behaviors a person wants to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, access support from home or on the go, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while allowing therapists and clients to choose the format that best supports the work.
