About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is an LCSW based in New York who brings 38 years of clinical experience to a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and family issues, ADHD, and many others.
Background and approach
She has worked across settings from residential programs and outpatient clinics to high-security correctional environments and emergency rooms, and she now offers on-call and community-based therapeutic support. Her background includes long-term public service and recent roles as a psychiatric on-call evaluator and a therapist at a family medical center.
Her style centers on respect, professionalism, and compassion, with a preference for avoiding limiting labels. Cynthia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation and adapts interventions to the needs of each person, drawing on additional methods such as ACT, DBT, attachment-based, and client-centered techniques when appropriate.
She aims to make therapy approachable and often brings warmth and humor into sessions, sometimes incorporating an emotional support pet for comfort when suitable. Prospective clients who are seeking a seasoned clinician with broad experience and a flexible, individualized approach can begin the intake process through the site's matching and scheduling tools.
Cynthia works in English and accepts international clients, offering multiple formats to accommodate different needs.
Approaches That Guide Online Work and What to Expect
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and committing to actions aligned with personal values, which can help with avoidance, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current patterns and can be useful for intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship dynamics.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, try interventions, and adjust methods based on how well they fit the client’s needs and preferences, so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats helps people access care from their home, while allowing therapists and clients to select the ways of working that suit attention, communication style, and daily life commitments.
