About Cynthia
Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience helping people manage parenting stress, grief, depression, anxiety, and substance concerns. She works with parents and individuals who are overwhelmed, facing behavior challenges, or trying to rebuild routines after big changes. Cynthia aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward.
She trained at Southern University of New Orleans with a master's concentration in children, youth, and families.
Background and approach
Over her career she has supported people across the lifespan, including work in schools and community settings where she coached teachers and parents on behavior and learning supports. Her background includes time assisting people transitioning from homelessness and addressing related mental health issues.
Cynthia uses clear, practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing, and she draws on client-centered principles to tailor sessions to each person. She focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing problem behaviors through small, achievable steps. Her style is warm and easygoing, with empathy and a touch of humor.
She currently provides individual and group counseling in settings tied to juvenile justice work, helping youth meet goals for probation or parole. That experience informs how she sets realistic goals and measures progress in short-term work. Parents often bring her concerns about discipline, school struggles, and family stress.
Sessions can include planning, skill practice, and follow-up coaching so parents leave with concrete strategies. Cynthia listens first, then works together with each person to make changes that fit their life.

How Cynthia blends therapy approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The idea is to follow the person's pace, reflect what matters to them, and help them discover solutions that feel right. This approach is helpful for parents who want understanding and practical next steps rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors by identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and parenting stress through concrete exercises and practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be used when strong emotions make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed to match parenting needs, stress levels, and time constraints.
Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is low, live chat for shorter check-ins, or text messaging for ongoing coaching and reminders. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, follow up after school meetings, and practice skills between sessions.
