About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 38 years of experience. She has spent decades working in a range of settings, including state work and community clinics. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, and related struggles.
She has worked with many different populations over her career, in prisons, residential care, emergency room evaluations, and outpatient medical settings. That background gives her experience with serious mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, and complex trauma. Cynthia also sees people dealing with ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and problems with self-esteem and anger.
Her day-to-day style is straightforward and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside acceptance-based and attachment-informed approaches. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause difficulty, practice small behavior changes, and build skills for handling stress and painful emotions. She often brings humor into sessions and sometimes uses a virtual emotional support pet called Major when appropriate.
Cynthia emphasizes respect and professional courtesy in her work. She does not focus on labels and prefers to help people address what feels most pressing in their lives. She has supported caregivers, people managing chronic illness, those facing grief, and adults coping with life transitions.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that align with their priorities. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. This work can help people understand trust, abandonment concerns, and how they relate to partners or family members. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Cynthia will work with the client to identify goals, try a method, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. The focus is on practical steps and making changes that fit the person's life and priorities.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques usually used in person to an online setting so progress continues without major disruption.
