Sydney Pruett, LPC

Sydney Pruett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, and trauma. She uses straightforward care and a respectful approach to build a working relationship. Her style emphasizes listening first and making a plan together that fits each person's life.

With six years of experience, she has supported people dealing with relationship strain, grief, and big life transitions. She also helps with concerns linked to identity and marginalization, including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria. Issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue are also within her focus.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes, and trauma-focused techniques address trauma symptoms when they are present.

Sydney emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical steps. She discusses treatment options and tailors plans to each person's needs. She notes age and scope boundaries may apply and will suggest another clinician when a better fit is needed.

To begin, a simple questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match clients. That process helps shape first sessions and the initial plan. She encourages people to take the first step and acknowledges that reaching out can feel difficult.
