About Syrita

Syrita Braswell-O'Neal is a licensed professional counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, anger, and major life changes. She keeps sessions focused and practical so clients leave with ways to cope that they can use right away.

She listens in a calm and nonjudgmental way. Syrita works to understand each person's story and the pressures they face. She pays attention to cultural context and how identity shapes a person’s emotional life.

In sessions she addresses communication difficulties, feelings of shame or guilt, and problems with feeling isolated. She also helps people who are dealing with attachment concerns or navigating women's issues and personal transformations. The work often involves breaking down big problems into manageable steps.

Syrita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide change. That means she draws on approaches shown to help with stress, trauma recovery, and building better relationship patterns. She focuses on teaching skills as well as exploring the past when that helps people move forward.

Clients can expect practical tools for managing anger and stress, clearer ways to talk with others, and exercises to reduce shame and loneliness. The aim is to help people find steadier ground and rebuild a stronger sense of self over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Syrita's work. One approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for managing stress, anxiety, and anger - practical exercises clients can use between sessions to reduce emotional intensity and improve daily functioning. Another approach addresses communication patterns and attachment-related concerns by helping people notice interaction habits, practice new ways of speaking, and repair strained connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Syrita will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps shape session goals and the tools introduced over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include easier scheduling around work or family life, shorter check-ins when needed, and fewer logistics like travel time. Online work can make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a busy week and to practice new skills between meetings.
