About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 38 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and related concerns such as grief and parenting challenges.
She has long experience in institutional and community settings, including state work and emergency-room psychiatric evaluation. That background means she is used to short-term crisis work and longer outpatient conversations. Cynthia writes that she has worked with people across a wide range of mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and schizophrenia among others.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, trying practical alternatives, and building skills to manage symptoms and daily stress. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused techniques, client-centered methods, and DBT skills when helpful.
Cynthia prefers a direct, down-to-earth style and uses humor in sessions. She mentions an emotional support pet called Major as a light-hearted presence in online interactions. She says labels are less important than treating people respectfully and professionally.
For first steps she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How Cynthia integrates CBT and related approaches online
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people track thoughts, test unhelpful beliefs, and practice new coping behaviors. CBT is practical and structured, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and accept difficult emotions while taking committed action. Attachment-based techniques are used when relationship patterns and early connection issues are a focus, helping people recognize how past bonds influence current reactions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to see which method or combination fits their goals and preferences. That process can include trying CBT exercises, practicing DBT-style skills, or focusing on attachment patterns to see what helps most.
