Cynthia Wadsworth , LCSW

Cynthia Wadsworth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of clinical social work experience who begins every therapeutic relationship by listening to or reading an individual’s story. She upholds the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and that sharing one’s narrative is a central step toward creating change. As clients describe the shifts they want to make, Cynthia highlights existing strengths and collaborates on realistic goals to move toward a different future.

Her practice draws from an eclectic mix of approaches while remaining client-centered and solution-focused. In the early stages of work she often concentrates on easing the immediate discomfort that brought someone to therapy, while also supporting longer-term change. Cynthia has training and experience addressing anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, and she emphasizes attention to the person rather than to labels. By building on strengths and setting clear goals together, she aims to help people develop practical pathways to the life changes they seek.

Attachment, Client-Centered Care, and EMDR Delivered Online

Cynthia integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns - this approach helps people understand attachment needs and build healthier connections in relationships and family life. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own experience and priorities so that therapy unfolds at the client’s pace and focuses on personal strengths and goals. When trauma is a central concern, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an available option; EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity and support adaptive resolution.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cynthia works collaboratively to determine the best fit based on an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, combining strategies that align with what each person hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Cynthia offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are not feasible. Working remotely allows licensed professionals to provide consistent support across life transitions, while preserving the collaborative, strengths-focused orientation central to her practice.
