About Cynthia Prince
Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings decades of front-line experience to her therapeutic work. With 38 years in the field, she has supported people across many settings including correctional facilities, juvenile residential programs, outpatient child services, emergency rooms, and community medical centers. Her career includes more than 30 years with the State of New York and subsequent work as an on-call psychiatric evaluator in emergency settings and as a therapist for a local family medical center serving college-aged adults and other community members.
She has worked with mandated clients, incarcerated people at maximum and medium security levels, adolescents involved with the juvenile system, and a broad community population. Her clinical experience covers a wide range of concerns - from mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, to trauma and PTSD, anxiety and coping difficulties, attachment and abandonment issues, ADHD, grief and loss, schizophrenia, self-injury, abuse recovery, parenting and relationship struggles, anger and personality disorders, neurodevelopmental and autism spectrum concerns, OCD, and more.
Cynthia approaches each person without overreliance on labels, emphasizing respect, professionalism, and compassion. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and tailors treatment to the unique needs of each individual. She also draws on humor in sessions and even keeps a virtual emotional support pet named Major to lighten the work when appropriate. Cynthia encourages people who have taken the first step of seeking help to find a therapist who feels like a good fit and to reach out when they are ready.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cynthia integrates evidence-informed approaches to help clients address thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational experiences shape current patterns in relationships and can support healing for abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cynthia works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single technique.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy lives, college students, caregivers, and people in different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide consistent, accessible care while supporting progress between sessions.
