About Cynthia Wadsworth

Cynthia Wadsworth begins her work by making space for each person to tell or write their story, valuing the insight that comes from hearing life described in a person’s own words. She operates from the belief that individuals are the experts on their own lives, and when someone seeks counseling the focus turns to reshaping the narrative they want for the future.

Her approach centers on identifying strengths as much as it addresses the changes a person wishes to make. Together with the person she works with, she frames goals that aim to reduce the discomfort prompting therapy and to build practical steps toward the future the person envisions. She uses an eclectic mix of therapeutic tools while remaining client-centered and solution-focused throughout the process.

Cynthia has training and experience supporting people who have faced anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, and she places emphasis on the individual rather than a diagnostic label. She holds an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - and applies her clinical background to help clients build on strengths and move toward new possibilities.

This variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients typically have the option to switch therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For many, remote therapy offers an accessible way to engage in the therapeutic process while working toward personal goals.
