About Cynthia

Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and anger among other issues.

She has worked across many settings over her career, including prisons, residential care, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and a family medical center. That background means she has seen a wide range of problems from severe mental illness to everyday life struggles. She notes experience with bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and personality-related concerns.

Cynthia favors straightforward, practical work. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and attachment-informed ideas. Sessions include talking through problems, practicing skills for managing strong feelings, and planning steps to change patterns that keep problems going.

She brings an approachable manner and often uses humor during sessions. She mentions a virtual emotional support pet named Major as a light-hearted element some people enjoy. Her style aims to be respectful and professional while keeping a human tone.

For people worried about anger or frequent outbursts, she helps identify triggers, build coping skills, and try new responses in everyday life. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.

How sessions work

Approaches you might use together online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger gets in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought patterns and teaches concrete skills for changing reactions and behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anger, anxiety, and stress by practicing different responses in real situations.

Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions save travel time, fit into work breaks, or make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some formats require less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing practical needs during the first meeting helps set a plan that fits everyday life without promising a particular service.
