About
Cynthia Terrell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of professional experience across clinical social work, therapy, and school counseling. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and adoption and foster care matters.
She brings a supportive, attentive stance to clinical work, listening closely to each person to identify priorities and to shape a plan that reflects their needs. Her approach draws on client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques, with an openness to psychodynamic ideas when they serve the goals of the work.
Terrell aims to help people develop practical coping strategies while also attending to underlying patterns that influence emotion and behavior. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers guidance intended to empower people as they navigate life transitions, caregiving strains, career pressures, interpersonal conflict, and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Cynthia Terrell offers remote sessions that combine client-centered listening with structured techniques. In the client-centered portion of work she prioritizes the individual perspective, creating space for people to describe concerns and for the therapist to respond with empathic reflection and collaborative goal setting. This helps shape which tools and strategies will be most useful in a given case.
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify patterns in thinking and behavior and to develop concrete strategies for change. Mindfulness-based practices are integrated to cultivate present-moment awareness and to support stress regulation and emotional grounding. Together these approaches allow for both reflective exploration and practical skills-building.
Remote appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Terrell frames online work as a cooperative process in which she and the person determine the pace, focus, and mix of techniques that best fit the individual’s needs.
