About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She works with adults on parenting strain, grief, intimacy and self-esteem issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life transitions. Sessions are conversational and practical, with a focus on real-world coping skills.
Cynthia’s style is straightforward and down-to-earth. She keeps the room relaxed, uses humor at times, and aims to treat people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
She does not focus on labels; instead she looks at the problems a person brings and builds a plan that fits their life. Her background includes decades of work across many settings, including correctional facilities, residential care, outpatient clinics, and hospital emergency evaluations.
She recently retired from long-term State of New York work and has continued seeing community members and college-age adults in a family medical center setting. Cynthia draws on several well-known approaches to therapy, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and dialectical skills when helpful. She adapts methods to each person's needs rather than using one fixed recipe.
Practical concerns are central in her work. She helps people with parenting challenges, communication and commitment issues, sexual and intimacy questions including kink, body-image and eating concerns, chronic health and caregiving stress, and grief or loss. Sessions aim to teach coping tools and clearer ways of relating.
Therapy is offered in English and available to people in and beyond New York. Cynthia also includes lighthearted elements like an emotional support pet in sessions when appropriate, to make the work feel less heavy.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making forward steps when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to change mood and motivation. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections and helps people build safer ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different tools, and together decide which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative process means techniques may shift as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to read facial cues and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short skill practice, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options help therapy fit into work, school, caregiving, or medical routines while still using ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work in everyday life.
