Cynthia Terrell, LCSW

Cynthia Terrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and anger. Language of sessions is English and she practices from a clinical social work framework.

Cynthia listens closely to what each person brings. She uses that information to pick practical ways to address problems. Sessions often focus on clear goals, skills you can try between meetings, and checking what works in day-to-day life.

Her approach draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness tools. That means time is spent naming thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and using attention and breathing to manage strong feelings. She also draws on years of work in schools and clinical settings to handle family and parenting stressors and adoption-related concerns.

Cynthia has helped people manage career stress, compassion fatigue, and the fallout from separation or loss. She also addresses issues such as impulsivity, jealousy, infidelity, and communication problems. Treatment is practical and focused on improving how clients cope and relate in their everyday roles.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. The emphasis is on skills that reduce reactivity, improve communication, and help people understand patterns that keep anger and resentment active. Cynthia encourages steady progress and checks in on what changes feel useful.
