About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 38 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and many other life challenges.
She has worked in a wide range of settings including prisons, residential programs for young people, outpatient clinics, and emergency room psychiatric evaluation. That background means she is familiar with complex cases and with people at different stages of life and need.
In session she uses clear, practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of her core approaches, and she also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered work. She focuses on identifying problematic patterns, naming emotions that are hard to name, and trying small, usable changes that can make daily life easier.
Her style is direct and often includes humor to ease tension. She sometimes mentions a virtual emotional support pet named Major as part of sessions when allergies are not an issue. She does not emphasize labels and aims for respectful, professional interaction.
To start, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients who speak English are accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and reorganize difficult emotions that keep people stuck in painful patterns. EFT is often used to clarify attachment-related feelings and to work on how emotions show up in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and taking practical steps that match what matters most to the person. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching ways to act despite uncomfortable thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and coping; this can be useful for abandonment, attachment, and relational concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences and collaborate on which methods to use. That means approaches may be mixed and adjusted over time rather than stuck to one method from the start.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them, and let people take part without traveling to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT, ACT, and attachment-focused interventions to remote sessions by focusing on emotional clarity, practical steps, and relationship patterns during conversation.
