About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, and relationship or parenting struggles. She learns what matters to each person and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Cynthia keeps a warm, down-to-earth style and uses humor to ease tension in the room.
She has spent decades in many settings, including prisons, juvenile residential programs, outpatient clinics, and emergency room psychiatric evaluations.
Background and approach
Most recently she worked as an on-call psychiatric evaluator and as a therapist in a family medical center seeing college-age and community adults. That range gives her familiarity with urgent crises and ongoing life challenges. Cynthia works collaboratively and avoids labels.
She starts by listening and then builds a plan that fits a person’s goals and everyday life. Common topics she addresses include coping with anxiety, managing anger, navigating relationship and attachment concerns, and supporting people with ADHD who want clearer routines and strategies. Her practical methods draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused ideas.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, values-based choices, and small experiments to try between meetings. She also uses humor and a light touch to reduce stress. People can expect straightforward conversation, clear suggestions, and flexible session formats including video, phone, chat, or messaging.
Cynthia works in New York as an LCSW and offers sessions in English, including for some international clients.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that cause stress, then practices small changes to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking flexible action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with stress, grief, ADHD-related overwhelm, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building workable habits.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Cynthia will listen to goals and try strategies together, adjusting methods as needed. The focus is on what helps the person move toward clearer routines, better relationships, or reduced symptoms rather than fitting a single label.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and teaching skills; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging can support ongoing coaching, quick check-ins, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
