Sydney Pruett

Sydney Pruett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with six years of experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sydney also supports people navigating relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity.

In sessions she listens first and builds a plan that fits each person's needs. She often uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal motivation to make changes when they feel stuck.

Sydney has worked with people from marginalized communities, including 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and those facing religious or racial trauma. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness and pain, and codependency. Her practice includes treatment for dissociation, domestic violence aftermath, and gender dysphoria concerns when they fall within her scope.

She typically works with adults and often sees people in the 18-35 age range. If a person’s needs fall outside her areas of focus or age range, she may recommend a different therapist. She emphasizes tailoring treatment to the individual rather than applying one fixed method.

Sydney encourages people to take the first step when they’re ready. The initial process includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. She asks that clients wait to schedule until after they receive an introductory message from her.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps reflect what matters, and works to create a treatment plan shaped by the client's goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face feeling, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or shorter sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets and motivational interviewing questions to an online setting to keep sessions goal-focused and practical.
