About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is an LCSW with 38 years of experience helping people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, mood disorders, trauma, addiction, and issues such as ADHD and compassion fatigue. Cynthia also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.
Cynthia spent decades in public behavioral health settings, including work with incarcerated people, juvenile residential care, emergency psychiatric evaluation, and outpatient clinics. Most recently she worked on-call as a psychiatric evaluator in a hospital emergency room and provided therapy at a family medical center seeing college-age adults and community members in New York.
Her style is straightforward and warm. She avoids clinical labels and treats people with respect, professionalism, and compassion. Humor appears in sessions, and she mentions an emotional support pet named Major as part of the practice tone when appropriate.
Cynthia draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and adapts interventions to each person’s needs. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and acceptance-oriented approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and improve daily functioning. Dialectical skills and client-centered listening inform her work when helpful.
Clients can expect practical tools for coping, clearer ways to handle relationship and family stress, and support during major life transitions. The focus is on what helps someone feel more able to manage day-to-day life and move toward their goals.

Practical approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment, and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and reduce travel time. Online care can allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling that match everyday routines, while the focus remains on developing coping skills, managing relationships, and navigating end-of-life or hospice-related concerns when they arise.
