Cynthia Fulton-Solomon , LCSW

Cynthia Fulton-Solomon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of mental health and life challenges. She earned her master’s degree from Southern University of New Orleans with a concentration in children, youth, and families, and brings extensive experience across age groups and service settings. Her approach is warm and easy-going, grounded in empathy, listening, and a touch of humor to build trusting therapeutic connections.

She currently provides individual and group counseling within the juvenile justice system, working with youth who have been adjudicated to help them meet the requirements of probation and parole and to pursue community-based goals. Her clinical experience includes depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, chronic homelessness, substance use concerns, severe mental health conditions, and personality disorders. She also assists clients coping with transitions from homelessness, chronic medical issues, and complex family dynamics.

Cynthia has a strong background supporting school-aged children and adolescents, offering interventions to promote academic, emotional, behavioral, and social success when earlier supports have not fully resolved concerns. She has worked with teachers and school staff to illuminate familial, cultural, and community factors that shape student learning and behavior. In clinical practice she primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction, behavioral modification, and client-centered therapy, adapting techniques to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Cynthia Fulton-Solomon

Cynthia uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person’s priorities guide the work; this approach focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building on their strengths to address life challenges. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, commonly used when addressing substance use, addiction-related concerns, or readiness for behavioral shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with each person to clarify goals, assess what resonates, and adapt techniques so therapy fits the client’s needs, preferences, and circumstances. That shared decision-making helps shape a plan that evolves over time.

Online therapy with Cynthia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to continue consistent work on goals from wherever a client is located in Louisiana, and they support ongoing access to therapists and licensed professionals without the need for in-person visits.
