About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 38 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family strains, and challenges like ADHD and substance concerns. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to make daily life more manageable. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She prefers plain talk, a little humor, and working together to build skills that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Cynthia does not focus on labels; she tailors care around the problems a person brings to sessions. Cynthia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and take values-based actions. She also uses Attachment-based perspectives to look at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and respond to stress.
Her background includes long experience in public mental health settings, emergency room psychiatric evaluation, residential and outpatient work, and services for people involved with the justice system. That variety informs a practical approach to real-world problems. Sessions aim to teach concrete tools for managing mood, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain.
Cynthia also helps with grief, parenting concerns, body image, intimacy issues, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Her experience includes working with people facing chronic illness, neurodevelopmental differences, and identity-related stresses. Cynthia sees people in New York and accepts international clients for online work.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she encourages people to choose a format that fits their routine.

Online support
How attachment and action-oriented approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in how people connect, repair ruptures, and build safer ways of relating in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings; it helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical exercises to use between sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel understood; that environment can make it easier to try new behaviors and to talk through sensitive topics. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest techniques drawn from these approaches. Together they choose strategies that fit the person’s needs and daily routine. Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let therapists and clients work face-to-face when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings, send brief updates, or use therapy while on the go. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in everyday settings.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
