Cynthia Prince , LCSW

Cynthia Prince is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns. She practices in New York and works with a broad range of life challenges including grief, addiction, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Cynthia uses straightforward language and a warm manner to put people at ease.

She has spent decades in public and community settings, including work with correctional populations, residential care, emergency room evaluations, and family medicine clinics. That background means she has seen many ways people struggle and recover. Her experience includes supporting those with bipolar disorder, PTSD, neurodevelopmental conditions, and chronic health problems.

In session she favors approaches that are practical and collaborative. Cognitive behavioral methods are often part of her plan, along with acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas when they fit. She adapts methods to each person's situation rather than relying on one fixed path.

Cynthia brings a down-to-earth style and a sense of humor to therapy. She mentions an emotional support pet named Major as part of her lighthearted approach. People often find her plainspoken manner helps conversations feel easier and more direct.

She supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, body-image and eating concerns, aging issues, compassion fatigue, and complex life transitions. Her goal is to help people find workable steps forward so daily life becomes more manageable.

How Cynthia's approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where people want concrete direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, intimacy, or trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Cynthia works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed over time. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Online sessions offer a flexible way to keep regular contact. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits short check-ins or on-the-go moments, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
