About

About Cynthia

Cynthia Prince is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience helping people through common and complex life stresses. She works with parents and individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Cynthia aims to make therapy straightforward and warm so people feel heard from the first session.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Cynthia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take practical steps toward them. Her background includes decades of clinical work in New York settings such as residential care, outpatient clinics, emergency psychiatric evaluation, and correctional facilities. That range shaped a practical, no-nonsense style that still leaves room for humor and compassion.

She mentions an emotional support pet named Major to lighten the mood during visits. Sessions focus on real-life fixes: better sleep, managing anger, parenting challenges, coping with change, or improving self-esteem. Cynthia prefers to talk plainly and help people build skills they can use between sessions.

She tailors work to each person's goals rather than relying on one rigid method. Cynthia works with adults across many concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and attachment or abandonment issues. She provides services from her New York practice and offers multiple online session formats to fit busy schedules.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior. Online CBT sessions typically include short exercises, homework ideas, and practical tools to try between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to accept uncomfortable feelings. In online ACT work, conversations and short practices aim to make values-based action easier in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer convenience and flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days, allow quick reflection, and help maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
