About Syrita
Syrita Braswell-O'Neal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people managing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports people coping with life changes and those dealing with attachment concerns, communication problems, guilt, shame, loneliness, and women's issues. Her tone is calm and straightforward, aimed at people who need practical help now.
She creates a warm, non-judging space for clients to talk through hard feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools rather than long lectures. Syrita emphasizes building coping strategies that fit daily life and situations that trigger anxiety or overwhelm. Her work uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide recovery after trauma and to improve communication in relationships.
Syrita helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of responding. The emphasis is on steady progress and skills that can be used between sessions. With three years of experience as an LPC in Connecticut, she brings both clinical knowledge and personal sensitivity to sessions.
Her approach pays attention to cultural factors and how they affect stress, shame, and healing. That perspective informs how she helps people reclaim a sense of agency. Many clients focus on short-term problem relief and building long-term resilience.
Syrita works collaboratively to set realistic steps and measure progress. If someone prefers practical, conversational therapy with action-oriented tools, her style may fit well.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Syrita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and recover from trauma. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - learning simple breathing, grounding, and thought-management exercises to reduce anxiety in the moment. Another approach emphasizes communication and attachment work - identifying patterns in relationships, practicing new ways to speak up, and strengthening emotional connection with others.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, homework check-ins, or steady contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family life, while still focusing on practical tools for anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges.
