About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addiction-related problems, codependency, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She has spent decades in a wide range of settings, including prisons, residential juvenile care, outpatient clinics, emergency room psychiatric evaluation, and a family medical center. That mix of work means she is used to seeing people at different points of crisis and everyday life. She also has experience with bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum issues, personality concerns, and neurodevelopmental conditions.
In sessions she uses clear, practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a primary method she mentions using to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships affect current patterns, including abandonment and attachment struggles.
Cynthia writes that she does not focus on labels. She treats people with professionalism and respect and prefers a direct, down-to-earth style. She uses humor in session and even mentions a virtual emotional support pet named Major when it helps lighten the mood.
She asks prospective clients to choose a therapist who feels like a fit. To begin, users are directed to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions rather than getting stuck reacting to every feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more regulated.Choosing the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and adapt the work as you go. That collaborative discussion helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment work, or a mix is most useful for the problems you bring.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can be helpful because it makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduces travel time, and can allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused on daily life.
