More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 3 State: Virginia

My name is Synthia Lawton, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Virginia. I am a 2015 graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University where I obtained my Master in Social Work. I have been working in the field of mental health for over 10 years and I have extensive experience providing quality services with adults, children and families on a wide range of areas including but not limited to adoption, attachment, depression, anxiety, stress, behavioral issues, communication, anger management and co-occurring disorders. My approach is eclectic as the saying says, one shoe does not fit all. I use Solution Focus Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic and will be training in December 2020 in EMDR therapy.

If you chose to work with me, please note that I will be there with you during your journey and welcome the opportunity of us working together. Also, please note that my schedule does not always accurately reflect my available hours. Please message me if you need a time that is not available on my schedule.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Synthia is amazing!

Overall

An absolute God send! Immediately she worked on building a strong rapport with me and created a safe and secure space for me to be open and honest. Throughout our sessions she displays a high level of insight and clinical knowledge. My time with Synthia has resulted in an increase in self confidence, self-value, and self-worth. She's also helped me identify unhealthy attitudes and behaviors while challenging me to change. The work continues and I'm glad to be doing the work with Synthia!
