Cynthia Wadsworth , LCSW

Cynthia Wadsworth, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings three decades of clinical social work experience to her practice. She begins by listening—whether clients speak or write their histories—because she views each person as the expert on their own life and believes telling one’s story is a crucial step toward change.

Her work centers on collaboration: as clients describe the future they want, she helps identify existing strengths and sets realistic goals to support those changes. Cynthia blends several therapeutic methods while maintaining a client-centered, solution-focused stance, tailoring care to the needs presented rather than emphasizing diagnostic labels.

Many people seek her support for anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, and she draws on training and experience to address those concerns. Whether the aim is short-term relief from immediate distress or longer-term growth, Cynthia partners with clients to build on strengths and create a different, more hopeful chapter in their lives.

Attachment-Informed and Client-Centered Care Online

Cynthia integrates attachment-based work and client-centered principles to guide online therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating, which can be useful for relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for the client’s perspective, supporting self-directed growth and problem solving for concerns like anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses EMDR when appropriate to address traumatic memories and the emotional distress that can follow trauma, offering a structured approach to reduce the intensity of past painful experiences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains focused and meaningful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from their own communities, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that best supports their therapeutic work.
