About Cynthia
Cynthia Carlton-Jarmon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. She welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, anger, or low self-esteem. Cynthia also helps clients facing money and financial issues alongside concerns like grief, separation, and life purpose.
She draws on a background that includes military service in the United States Army and practice in both Hawaii and North Carolina. That experience informs how she understands the pressures of life transitions and loss. Cynthia describes her work as solution-focused and faith-informed when clients want that perspective.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Cynthia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also works with narrative and solution-focused methods to help people reshape their story and set achievable steps forward.
In a typical session she listens, helps clarify what matters most, and supports clients in trying small changes between meetings. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name feelings and test new responses.
Clients begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Cynthia practices as an LMFT licensed in Hawaii and North Carolina and conducts work in English. For international arrangements, she does not accept clients outside the United States.
Approaches that guide online work

This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions.She also applies solution-focused methods that zero in on achievable goals and immediate next steps. That work is useful when people want faster, action-oriented change. Narrative work is another element she uses to help people reframe painful stories and see alternative ways of living that fit their values.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cynthia collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. Together they test strategies and adjust the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
