Sylvia Akingbade, LPC

Sylvia Akingbade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She meets clients with patience and plain talk, aiming to make therapy feel manageable and clear. Sylvia writes short-term goals with clients and supports steady progress through practical steps.

Sylvia blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a client-centered style. CBT helps people notice and change thoughts and habits that make stress or low mood worse. The client-centered side means the person sets the pace and priorities for each session.

She has eight years of experience in mental health settings. That work included time with children, adults, and older people, which shaped a flexible approach to different life stages. Her focus areas include relationships, parenting concerns, grief, anger, career questions, and self-esteem challenges.

Sylvia also pays attention to caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt, shame, and finding self-love. Sessions aim to build skills people can use between meetings, such as mindfulness and coping strategies learned from CBT and dialectical behavior techniques.

Clients who choose Sylvia can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and help setting practical next steps. She encourages people to take small, consistent steps toward managing stress and navigating life changes.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Sylvia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that transfer well to remote sessions and daily life.

She also practices a client-centered approach, which simply means the session follows the client's needs and pace. That style supports honest conversation and lets clients guide the topics they want to address online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sylvia will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust plans as needed. The process is collaborative and tailored to what helps you feel steadier and more capable.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting sessions into busy days, shortening commutes, and keeping continuity when travel or schedule changes occur. Online sessions can make it easier to bring skills from therapy into daily routines and to maintain steady progress between meetings.
