About Cynthia

Cynthia Prince brings 38 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in New York, working with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes, among many other issues. Cynthia’s background spans corrections, residential care, outpatient settings, emergency room psychiatric evaluations, and a family medical center, reflecting decades of hands-on work with diverse populations.

Her style is grounded in respect, compassion, and a down-to-earth approach that avoids labeling. Cynthia emphasizes practical, individualized care and frequently draws on cognitive behavioral methods while integrating acceptance, attachment, and emotion-focused ideas to meet each person’s needs.

She often uses humor to put clients at ease and even mentions a virtual emotional support pet named Major when appropriate. Cynthia aims to collaborate with clients to find strategies that fit their life and goals, helping them move toward clearer functioning and greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

This therapist commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to support people in clarifying values, practicing acceptance of difficult emotions, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with clients to explore which methods match their needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with progress and changing circumstances.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and continue momentum between appointments while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
