About Cynthia
Cynthia Carlton-Jarmon offers calm, direct help for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, or depression. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of professional experience practicing in Hawaii. Cynthia greets clients with a warm, steady presence and practical steps to move forward.
Her approach is rooted in solution-focused work and cognitive strategies that aim for change you can notice. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
How Cynthia works
Clients talk about what matters most and try new ways of responding between meetings. Cynthia brings experience from a long career that includes service in the United States Army. That background shaped her attention to real-life challenges and to people who carry heavy responsibilities.
She also blends narrative ideas to help people make sense of their stories and reclaim agency over the next chapter. She offers guidance that reflects faith-centered values when clients want that perspective included. Cynthia helps people manage grief and loss, repair or strengthen relationships, and address family-origin concerns without minimizing present pain.
In sessions she works collaboratively to set clear goals and practical steps. She encourages asserting needs, rebuilding trust after infidelity, improving communication, and finding purpose. Cynthia’s style is accepting and straightforward, aimed at helping people create the life changes they seek.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive strategies focus on the link between thoughts and feelings. Clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical ways to change them. This method is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.Solution-focused work centers on small, achievable changes. Sessions set clear short-term goals and test new behaviors between meetings. This approach helps with relationship problems, anger, and moving past a difficult situation.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss needs, preferences, and goals to decide what to try first. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues for richer conversation. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging makes for quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and practice new skills in daily life.
