About Sydni
Sydni Durrstein takes a person-centered approach to therapy. She aims to help people build self-acceptance and find practical steps toward a more fulfilling life. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small changes that add up over time.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a collaborative style. That means she listens first, then offers tools that fit each person's needs. The work often centers on managing stress and anxiety, improving relationships, and handling big life changes.
Background and approach
Sydni brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. Her background includes helping people navigate family and relationship problems, blended family issues, and challenges around caregiving and codependency. She also addresses anger, control issues, and communication difficulties.

Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are structured around individual goals, and the pace is adjusted to what each person needs. Sydni is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - practicing in Wisconsin and works in English.
How evidence-based approaches work online
She draws on person-centered work that starts with the client's own goals and values. This approach focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths so practical steps feel relevant and doable. It helps when people need to sort priorities, build self-acceptance, and make everyday changes.She also uses structured, evidence-based techniques to teach coping skills and improve relationships. These approaches include skill-building for managing anxiety, tools to reduce impulsive reactions, and communication strategies for handling conflict. They are useful for stress, relationship strain, codependency, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. If something isn't working, the plan can change so therapy stays useful and focused on real-life problems.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, sliding into therapy between commitments, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
