About

Cynthia Wadsworth begins each new professional relationship by listening to or reading a person’s story. With 30 years of clinical social work experience, she values the process of storytelling as a foundation for change.

She approaches therapy from the perspective that the individual is the expert on their own life, and that people seek counseling because they want a different future. As clients describe the changes they want to make, Cynthia also highlights existing strengths and works collaboratively to set achievable goals.

Her practice draws on an eclectic mix of therapeutic approaches, delivered in a client-centered, solution-focused manner. Often a short-term aim is to reduce the immediate discomfort that led someone to seek help. Cynthia has experience and training in working with people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

Rather than focusing on labels, she concentrates on the whole person and on building from strengths to create a new future. Cynthia holds clinical social work licenses in both Louisiana and Illinois, and she brings three decades of experience to her work with clients.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people want to know whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care for most people.

A major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain regular sessions and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and if a different fit is desired, clients have the option to switch therapists. For many, online therapy offers an accessible and practical way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
