About Sydni
Sydni Durrstein is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, anger, and coping with life changes. Sydni emphasizes practical steps and self-acceptance to help people move forward.
She uses a person-centered stance and pairs that with evidence-based tools. Sessions aim to identify clear goals and build skills for everyday situations. Conversations are direct and focused on what will make life easier between appointments.
Sydni also addresses attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and codependency. She helps people who are navigating divorce and separation, fertility challenges, or substance use concerns. Financial stress, control issues, and communication problems are also areas she regularly addresses.
Her work includes support around impulsivity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Sydni notes interests in men’s issues and non-traditional family building, which inform how she frames conversations about roles and expectations. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication are common goals in her sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions
Her practice combines a person-centered orientation with evidence-based techniques. Person-centered work emphasizes listening and helping people set the goals they want to reach. That approach helps when someone needs clarity about relationship roles or family expectations.She pairs that with practical, evidence-based methods that teach skills for managing anxiety, anger, and stress. Those methods focus on small, repeatable strategies you can use between sessions to handle hard conversations or emotional reactions. Together these approaches help translate insight into everyday changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or reduce travel time on busy days.
