About Sydney
Sydney Pruett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on anxiety and related concerns. She brings six years of experience to sessions and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people taking the first step toward change. Sydney uses straightforward, person-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief.
She pays attention to life transitions, relationship strains, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and aimed at giving clients tools they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse and a focus on issues often tied to identity and marginalization, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image, and family of origin problems. Those areas shape how she frames treatment and goals.
Sydney integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to base work on each person’s needs and pace. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want help finding internal motivation for change.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability.
Approaches for online anxiety and trauma work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and shapes sessions around their pace and goals. This approach helps people feel heard and guides practical next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address the impacts of trauma and abuse in clear, step-by-step ways. It combines careful pacing, grounding, and processing techniques so people can reduce symptoms and regain control over daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in deciding what works best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth weekly sessions, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging work for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility so people can fit care into busy lives and manage check-ins between other responsibilities.
