About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is an LCSW with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, and caregiving stress.
She has spent decades in a variety of settings, including prisons, residential care for young people, outpatient clinics, emergency room psychiatric evaluations, and a family medical center. Much of her work involved supporting adults in community settings and college-aged clients at a local medical center after a long career with the State of New York.
Her approach is practical and down to earth. She favors Cognitive Behavioral tools and blends them with acceptance-focused and emotion-centered methods when that fits. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She aims to meet people where they are and use a warm, respectful style.
Humor is part of her work style and she sometimes mentions an emotional support pet named Major to lighten the mood. She avoids labels and focuses on clear, respectful communication. The goal in sessions is to talk through what is getting in the way and build steps that feel usable in daily life.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process that looks at current problems, past patterns such as attachment or abandonment issues, and concrete skills for coping. Prospective clients who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Cynthia’s approaches can guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then take steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and trust, which can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and relational struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your needs and goals and talk with you about which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted based on what actually helps you make changes in everyday life.
