Cynthia Prince , LCSW

Cynthia Prince brings decades of clinical experience to her work as an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - who has supported people across a wide range of settings and life challenges. Over the course of her career she has worked with mandated clients, inmates in maximum and medium security prisons, adolescents in residential care, juveniles labeled delinquent, and families and children in outpatient settings. She spent more than 30 years working for the State of New York and has recent experience serving as an on-call psychiatric evaluator in emergency rooms as well as seeing college-aged and community patients at a local family medical center.

She has assisted people facing many concerns including bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, anxiety, attachment and abandonment issues, ADHD, loss and grief, schizophrenia, abuse and self-injury, low self-esteem, parenting and relationship challenges, anger, personality disorders, neurodevelopmental differences such as autism spectrum conditions, OCD, and depression. Cynthia emphasizes practical, evidence-informed approaches and commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor treatment plans to each individual’s needs.

She does not focus on labels and approaches each person with respect, professionalism, and compassion. She incorporates humor and a light touch when appropriate, and even uses a virtual emotional support pet named Major to help create a more relaxed atmosphere. For many people, reaching out for help can feel daunting; Cynthia aims to make that first step easier and to find the treatment fit that feels right.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that align with their values. It can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships that developed early in life and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional regulation; it can be especially helpful for abandonment concerns, intimacy issues, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, making it a common choice for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia Prince works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors treatment as those needs evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists often integrate elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access care from home, between commitments, or while traveling. These options make it easier to maintain consistent contact with a therapist, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
