About Sylvia

Sylvia Akingbade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support for issues like low self-esteem, anger, career crossroads, and coping with change. Sylvia aims to make therapy feel understandable and approachable for worried parents and busy people.

Sylvia draws on existential ideas that help people name what matters most in their lives.

Background and approach

She combines that with client-centered listening so the session follows the person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when helpful to change patterns and build practical skills. Her style is calm and direct.

Sessions focus on what you want to change and what gets in the way. Sylvia pays attention to emotions, values, and everyday behavior so work in therapy links to daily life. With eight years of experience in mental health settings, Sylvia has worked with a wide range of people and situations.

That background informs flexible ways to support coping, communication, and problem solving. She centers the client's voice while offering concrete strategies when needed. Sylvia provides online options including video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Her approach is collaborative: goals are set together and revisited as progress is made.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Existential Therapy helps people name what matters and face difficult life choices. It focuses on values, meaning, and personal responsibility to help people move forward when life feels confusing or empty.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk through their concerns at their own pace, which can help when someone needs to process emotions or make sense of a tough situation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and for building coping skills.

Sylvia treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. The work is shared so clients help decide what feels most useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, tracking progress, or when a written format feels easier to express thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
