Cynthia Wadsworth, LCSW

Cynthia Wadsworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who begins each new relationship by listening to or reading the person’s story. After 26 years of clinical social work experience, she emphasizes the importance of narrative - believing that people are the experts on their own lives and often seek counseling to change their future story.

As clients describe the changes they want to make, Cynthia also highlights existing strengths and works collaboratively to set realistic goals. She uses an eclectic mix of therapeutic methods while remaining firmly client-centered and solution-focused. Many people come with an immediate aim to reduce the discomfort that prompted them to seek help, and Cynthia often works toward short-term relief alongside longer term growth.

She has training and experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, and her approach prioritizes the person rather than a diagnostic label. By building on strengths and clear goals, Cynthia helps clients imagine and move toward a different future.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Cynthia Wadsworth

Cynthia draws from several established approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and safety in relationships, helping people address attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used to process and reduce the lingering impact of distressing memories, often applied when trauma or abuse has affected daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration to support self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to schedule care around work, family, or mobility concerns and to maintain continuity with licensed professionals even when in-person visits are not feasible.
