I love Sylvia SO much. I was a bit hesitant to try Better Help, as I never have participated in therapy like this. She's so attentive to me throughout the week when we're not in a video session, it's outstanding. She is funny, thoughtful, encouraging, and all-around a GREAT therapist. I am so happy!
More about Sylvia
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Wisconsin with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, coping with grief and loss, & intimacy related issues. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Many clients find it helpful to have an objective and trusted listener. Someone they can talk with and receive support from without fear of judgment. I offer a comfortable and private setting for you to settle in and talk about your concerns. Maybe you are having some feelings and thoughts that scare you or maybe you are under a lot of stress or grieving a significant loss. The thought of change is usually more overwhelming than the actual change and I am here to help you through that.
I identify as a black, female therapist who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am passionate about serving people from all cultural backgrounds and ages. I enjoy partnering with clients to help them take ownership of their journey and empower them on their road to healing. I strive to support individuals and families in their efforts to heal and grow as well as become reconnected to their strengths and dreams.
Maybe you're contemplating a change and not sure about your path; a new job, starting, ending, or recharging a relationship, resolving old hurts, or grieving the loss of someone special. Remember that the first step is always the hardest but you have already taken that step by starting the search for a therapist. Now it is time to make that appointment.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

From the limited time I've had with Sylvia she has been very helpful if getting down to my issues and giving it to me straight. I've been able to reflect on myself in a very honest way.
I love Sylvia SO much. I was a bit hesitant to try Better Help, as I never have participated in therapy like this. She's so attentive to me throughout the week when we're not in a video session, it's outstanding. She is funny, thoughtful, encouraging, and all-around a GREAT therapist. I am so happy!
So far she is great and it's only been a couple weeks.
She always brings me so much love and support but I feel I am able to be myself and independent outside of therapy
Sylvia has been very helpful in piecing apart what we need to talk about going on in my life.
Sylvia has been a life changer with the help she’s provided me with! I truly couldn’t thank her enough for all of the help she’s given me in such a short amount of time (2 weeks!). I immediately felt better when I matched with her - and, her balance of professionalism with personal experience is great. The resources / information she provides saves me time and helps to put a name to the various things I’ve struggled with. Would 100% recommend Sylvia.
Sylvia is a kind, considerate, and hard working therapist. The way she balances humor, care, and comfort within her sessions while pushing me to strive for growth is admirable. I always feel seen and heard and sessions are targeted at my individual need for that day. I would recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for a trauma informed provider who knows how to balance the heavy with the heartfelt humor.
Overall extremely aware and insightful to my needs with giving my valuable doable tools to cope with a variety of things and process. Has great resources and beautiful energy each session. I fell safe, heard, respected, and valued by Sylvia. I would recommend her highly.0
Sylvia is my first ever therapist and she’s the absolute best! She gives me all the advice that I am looking for no matter what the problem is. She listens very well and I can tell she assesses my problems thoroughly to give me the advice I need.
She is very good at listening and responding in relation to the conversation at hand. Respectful, gives good advice, calming presence
She made this experience amazing for me. She is so kind and helpful. Going in I thought she would tell me what I should be doing, but really she is giving me recommendations and allowing me to choose what I’m doing and helping me set goals for myself.
This is the kindest person I have had the privilege of working with. She is professional when needed and also keeps it very personal. She pulled strength out of me I was unaware of. I could not have been matched with a better human! Thank you Sylvia you are a therapy rock star!!
