Cynthia Prince, LCSW

Cynthia Prince is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 38 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief, and several other life challenges listed below.

She has spent decades in a range of settings including prisons, juvenile residential care, outpatient clinics, emergency-room psychiatric evaluation, and a family medical center. That background means she has worked with people in many different circumstances and levels of need. Her experience includes mental health concerns such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, and neurodevelopmental conditions like autism and ADHD.

In sessions she leans on cognitive behavioral methods and draws on acceptance and commitment, attachment-based, and dialectical behavior approaches when they fit the person’s goals. She avoids heavy use of diagnostic labels and focuses on clear, practical steps clients can try between meetings. She sometimes uses gentle humor in sessions and mentions an emotional support pet as part of the atmosphere in her work.

Clients can expect straightforward, action-oriented conversations about coping skills, relationships, parenting, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image, and intimacy-related difficulties.
