About Sylvia

Sylvia Stogner is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with 35 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and ADHD, helping people navigate difficult emotions and life disruptions.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes compassionate listening and building practical coping strategies to address chronic stress, mood difficulties, panic symptoms, and the fallout from traumatic experiences. Sylvia draws on a long career across public and personal settings to offer steady, empathetic support.

Her work includes helping clients manage impulsivity, social anxiety, isolation, and relationship concerns such as attachment and communication struggles. She seeks to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and develop realistic plans for change.

Starting therapy is described as a brave step, and Sylvia aims to collaborate with each person to identify goals and find approaches that fit their life and needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care options



Sylvia uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach helps clients build coping skills for anxiety and stress through structured exercises and behavioral strategies that reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning. Another frequently used method supports processing traumatic memories and related symptoms by helping clients develop safety, grounding, and new ways to make sense of difficult experiences. Both approaches aim to reduce symptom distress and increase the ability to manage everyday demands.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods so they feel helpful and manageable. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time as progress is made or new challenges arise.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and allow ongoing support from licensed professionals without the need for travel. The variety of formats also helps clients choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable for them.
