About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 38 years of experience helping people facing a wide range of life challenges. She sees stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, and many other concerns. Cynthia works from New York and communicates in English.
Cynthia prefers a straightforward, respectful approach. She avoids labels and treats each person as an individual. Sessions mix practical strategies and conversation, with a sense of humor when it fits. Cynthia often uses cognitive methods and adapts what she does to each person’s needs.
Her background includes long work in public and clinical settings, including prisons, residential care, outpatient services, and emergency psychiatric evaluation for the State of New York. More recently she provided therapy in a family medical center, seeing college-age adults and community members. That range informs how she tailors care now.
In sessions she helps people build coping skills, manage mood shifts, address attachment and abandonment concerns, and work through grief and loss. She also supports those navigating chronic health, caregiver stress, body image, and sexual culture concerns such as kink and BDSM when relevant.
People who reach out will find a direct, compassionate professional who values respect and straightforward talk. If the match feels right, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Step 3
How Cynthia’s approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that align with them, even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns that began early in life and helps people change how they connect and respond in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and will mix methods to fit the situation. The aim is to find ways of working that feel clear and useful rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work or school breaks, or make it simpler to maintain ongoing support while traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, teach coping skills, and guide conversation effectively through remote sessions when that format is offered. If online sessions are of interest, check the current session options and schedule a time that suits everyday life. Step 4
