Sydney Pruett , LPC

Sydney Pruett is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings several years of clinical experience to her work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and other concerns. She holds licensure across multiple states and practices from a perspective that values respect, sensitivity, and compassion for each person she sees. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - a credential that reflects graduate-level training and supervised experience in providing psychotherapy and behavioral health support.

Sydney most often works with clients between the ages of 18 and 35 and tailors treatment plans to meet each individual's unique needs. She has particular experience and interest in supporting people from more marginalized populations, including 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, those facing women's issues, survivors of religious trauma, and individuals affected by racism or chronic health concerns and disabilities. At the same time she accepts referrals outside these areas when a client's needs fit within her scope of practice.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building so clients can address stress, relationships, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and other challenges. If a client falls outside her preferred age range or area of expertise, she may suggest transitioning to another therapist who is a better match. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and Sydney acknowledges that courage while working to create a thoughtful, individualized plan.

Please do not schedule a session with her until you have received your first message from her. Thank you!

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Sydney Pruett integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace so people feel heard and supported while exploring their goals and values. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences with strategies tailored to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, and it is often used when past harm or abuse is part of a person's history. Sydney approaches treatment collaboratively - she works with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with a licensed professional can offer flexibility and easier access to consistent care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can help people stay connected between sessions or choose a format that feels less formal. These options make it possible to receive ongoing therapeutic support that fits into varied schedules and life situations.
