About Cynthia
Cynthia Prince is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of practice. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and day-to-day struggles like sleep, eating, parenting, and work concerns. Cynthia speaks English and works from New York, and she accepts international clients for online sessions.
She prefers straightforward, down-to-earth conversation in sessions. Cynthia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a single technique. Her background includes long experience in public mental health settings and emergency psychiatric evaluation work. That history means she is used to a wide range of concerns, from mood disorders and trauma to attachment, ADHD, and complex grief.
She also has experience with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and identity or relationship questions. Cynthia avoids labels and focuses on respect, clear communication, and a touch of humor. She sometimes uses a support animal presence in sessions when it feels right.
The goal is practical help: better coping skills, clearer goals, and less overwhelm in daily life. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire connects a person to Cynthia and scheduling happens based on her availability.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Cynthia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work through strong feelings that shape relationship and self patterns. EFT focuses on understanding emotions and creating new ways to respond to them, which can help with grief, intimacy concerns, and attachment issues.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts without feeling driven by them and commit to values-based action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer direction amid change.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Cynthia listens to a person's goals and tries methods that suit their needs. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what is or isn't helpful so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks, and messaging or chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions while juggling work, school, caregiving, or travel.
