About Cynthia
Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other issues. She offers a calm, warm presence and listens carefully to what parents and caregivers say. Cynthia aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so families can try things that help right away.
She brings three decades of social work experience to conversations about raising children, managing behavior, and coping with stress.
Background and approach
Her style blends clear guidance with empathy and occasional humor. She trained at Southern University of New Orleans, earning a master’s degree with a concentration in children, youth, and families. Cynthia has worked across settings and age groups, including schools and the juvenile justice system.
At times she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions interact, to change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Client-centered therapy is another thread in her work, keeping the session focused on each family’s priorities.
Cynthia has experience addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and behavioral concerns in youth and adults. She has helped students with social and coping skills and supported families dealing with homelessness, medical issues, and complex life transitions. These experiences inform practical steps she suggests for home and school.
Parents can expect straightforward goal-setting and problem-solving. Cynthia often pairs individual conversations with skills practice that can be used between sessions. She welcomes hearing families’ stories and working with them to identify realistic next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy starts by putting the family’s priorities first. In this approach the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the parent or caregiver, helping shape goals that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear tools to change patterns that cause stress or conflict. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive reactions that can help with anger, self-control, and stress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will work with the family to decide which methods best match their needs and goals. She often combines techniques so sessions stay practical and relevant to everyday parenting challenges.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules are tight, while phone sessions suit quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief support or follow-up between sessions. These options help families fit therapy into school, work, and caregiving routines while continuing to practice skills at home.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
