About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in New York with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and a range of other issues including ADHD and bipolar disorder.
She has spent much of her career in community and institutional settings. Her background includes work in correctional facilities, residential programs for young people, outpatient child services, and emergency psychiatric evaluations. More recently she provided therapy at a family medical center and saw college-age and community clients.
Cynthia favors straightforward, practical methods. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses, and she incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is needed.
Sessions include a conversational tone and a sense of humor when appropriate. She prefers to treat clients without over-reliance on labels and works with each person's situation as it presents. An emotional support pet named Major sometimes appears virtually for lighthearted moments during sessions.
Her work covers a wide mix of concerns beyond family and relationship matters, including grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, body image, and intimacy-related issues. People considering therapy are invited to follow the site's process to match and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that involve repetitive thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating; it helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and boundaries and then try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is something the therapist will work through collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels practical for daily life, and then suggest methods to try. The first sessions often include a check-in and a plan for the next steps so clients can see what fits.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules because they remove travel time and can be scheduled more flexibly. Shorter check-ins or sessions without video can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, behavioral experiments, and emotion-skills practice to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused on daily challenges.
