About Quiana

Quiana Sydnor is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on relationship and family concerns among other life challenges. She has an LPC credential and brings 18 years of experience to her work. Her style is warm and interactive, aimed at helping people talk through what feels stuck and take practical steps forward.

Quiana listens first to understand each person’s story and priorities. She uses clear, evidence-based techniques and keeps sessions straightforward.

Background and approach

Parents or partners who are worried about stress, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem often find the pace practical and goal-oriented. Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused and client-centered methods. That means she helps identify unhelpful thoughts, builds small workable strategies, and centers the person’s values in planning next steps.

Sessions often include concrete tools and short-term goals that can fit into busy family life. She also addresses trauma and abuse, anger, coping with life changes, career issues, bipolar-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. Commitment issues and multicultural concerns are additional areas she gives attention to in conversations.

Quiana works with a range of concerns related to relationships and family dynamics and aims to create a practical path forward. She encourages people to take small steps and offers coaching-style support when helpful. If someone wants clear strategies and a respectful space to sort things out, she provides that guidance.

How her approaches work online and in session

Client-centered work means the conversation begins with your priorities and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps shape goals that matter to you. This style helps when you want a respectful space to sort through relationship or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thought that increase stress or low mood. She uses CBT to help people try new thinking and behavior strategies and to practice small changes between sessions. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods and make decisions together based on your needs, goals, and comfort. This collaborative process lets you try techniques and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These options provide flexibility for parents and working people who need to connect from home or between commitments. The variety of formats also makes it easier to keep continuity when life gets hectic.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
