About Sydney
Sydney Pruett brings a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy, using practical, evidence-informed strategies to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and build more effective coping skills.
Background and approach
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Oklahoma, she draws on six years of clinical experience to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her work often focuses on helping people navigate relationship and family challenges, major life transitions, and issues related to identity and gender dysphoria.
Pruett pairs CBT techniques with client-centered principles and motivational interviewing to meet people where they are and foster collaborative goal-setting. That blend helps clients process difficult experiences like abandonment, attachment struggles, dissociation, or domestic violence while developing concrete tools for day-to-day functioning.
She also supports those managing body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and isolation. Pruett approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, tailoring treatment plans to individual needs and drawing on trauma-focused methods when appropriate to promote healing and resilience.
Bringing CBT and Client-Centered Care to Online Therapy
Clients can expect cognitive behavioral strategies focused on identifying and changing thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress; CBT emphasizes practical skills and behavior changes that target day-to-day functioning and symptom reduction. Client-centered therapy complements that work by creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the client's values and goals guide the pace and focus of treatment. Trauma-focused therapy can also be integrated when recent or past traumatic experiences are part of the picture, using techniques that help process those events while stabilizing present-day coping.Finding the right therapeutic approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. The therapist will work with each client to explore which combination of CBT, client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, or trauma-focused strategies fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity across transitions, and access care from home or wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area.
