Cynthia Prince, LCSW

Cynthia Prince is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience. She has spent decades helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or coping with trauma and mood disorders. Cynthia keeps her approach straightforward and practical so visitors can quickly see if she might be a fit.

Cynthia has worked across many settings, including state services, emergency psychiatric evaluation, outpatient care, and community clinics in New York. That background means she is used to abrupt crises and everyday life changes. She draws on that experience to help people manage symptoms and get through hard moments.

Her style is direct, warm, and often wry. She avoids labels and treats people with respect. Sessions include clear goals, everyday strategies, and room for humor when it helps. Cynthia also mentions an emotional support pet named Major as part of the practice's friendly tone.

Cynthia commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and adapts them to each person. She also draws from acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical work. The aim is to pick tools that match a person's needs rather than force a single method.

She helps with a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting strain, addiction, LGBT issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and caregiving stress. Cynthia also supports people facing chronic illness, body image struggles, intimacy issues, and grief. She will work with each person to set practical steps and reasonable goals.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and practical coping skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then moving toward values-based choices. It can help with stress, grief, and chronic worry. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions today; it helps with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adapts techniques rather than imposing one way of working, and checks in regularly to make sure the plan feels helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues; phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or when you want a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
