About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing parenting strain, eating and sleeping struggles, intimacy challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career questions, and major life changes. Cynthia practices from New York and offers services in English.
She has worked in a wide range of settings over a long career, including inpatient and outpatient programs, juvenile residential care, and state services.
How Cynthia works
For more than three decades she also provided on-call psychiatric evaluations in emergency rooms and offered therapy at a local family medical center. That breadth of experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style. Cynthia favors clear, structured approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy while drawing on acceptance-based and attachment ideas when helpful.
She aims to tailor interventions to each person rather than rely on labels. Sessions include direct problem solving, skills practice, and space to talk through painful memories and current stresses. Her manner is warm and often lightened with humor.
She treats people with respect and expects the same in return. An emotional support pet occasionally appears in session as a small, friendly presence. Cynthia offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more supported ways of relating to others. It often supports work on intimacy, abandonment issues, and relationship strain. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, offering empathy and respect so clients can find their own solutions and build self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing strategies over time and adjusting the plan as progress and new challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching between sessions, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across schedules and locations while using approaches like ACT, attachment work, and client-centered conversation effectively.
