Cynthia Fulton-Solomon , LCSW

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings a compassionate, easy-going presence to therapeutic work. She earned a master’s degree from Southern University of New Orleans with a concentration in children, youth, and families, and she draws on extensive experience across ages and clinical needs. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with practical, person-focused care - she commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction, behavioral modification, and client-centered methods, adapting interventions to the specific needs of each person.

Cynthia currently provides individual and group counseling within the Juvenile Justice System, helping youth meet the goals of probation and parole while working toward healthier community adjustment. She has substantial experience addressing depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, chronic homelessness, substance use concerns, more severe mental health conditions, and personality disorders. She also assists clients navigating the emotional and practical impacts of chronic medical issues and transitions from homelessness.

Her work with elementary, middle, and high school students focuses on academic, emotional, behavioral, and social success when earlier interventions have not resolved concerns. Cynthia has supported classroom staff by clarifying how family, culture, and community influence student responses to instruction and learning. She engages clients with respect, empathy, attentive listening, and a touch of humor, and she is committed to partnering with individuals and families to find workable solutions on the path to better mental health.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon employs a mix of client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to meet diverse needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a supportive space where clients lead the conversation and identify personal goals; it is well suited for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical strategies and skills - it is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps strengthen motivation for change and is particularly useful for issues like addiction, readiness for behavioral change, and ambivalence about treatment.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and stage of change, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative planning helps tailor treatment to what is most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when clients connect. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation and therapeutic work, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins, skills coaching, or support between sessions. These formats help make therapy more accessible for those balancing school, work, caregiving, or mobility challenges, while preserving the collaborative, skills-based focus of Cynthia's practice.
