I’m Pamela Sykes, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with over 11 years of experience helping clients navigate life’s challenges. I earned my master’s from the University of Scranton and provide online counseling for pre-teens, adolescents, and adults. My expertise includes addressing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and relationship difficulties. I use a caring and collaborative approach, tailoring strategies to your individual needs and helping you build confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, my priority is to learn about your story, challenges, and what matters most to you. I aim to create a welcoming space where you feel safe and valued as we explore meaningful steps toward positive change. Sessions with me are collaborative and focused on helping you uncover insights, develop skills, and make progress that feels achievable and impactful. From the start, you can expect to feel understood and supported on your journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, my greatest strengths are creating a compassionate, accepting environment and truly listening to each client’s unique story. I draw on over 11 years of experience working with people from all walks of life, addressing complex challenges like anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. What sets me apart is my ability to blend evidence-based methods like CBT and Positive Psychology with a deeply personal and empathetic approach, empowering clients to overcome barriers and achieve meaningful growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work best with clients who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, or stress. Whether you’re dealing with communication issues, conflict, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I provide a supportive space to help you move forward. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, develop tools to overcome roadblocks, and create lasting strategies for building healthier relationships and greater emotional well-being. My goal is to help you feel empowered, confident, and aligned with the life you want to lead.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With over 11 years of experience, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients uncover the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier, more productive ways of thinking and responding. This approach is practical and goal-oriented, giving you tools to manage anxiety, overcome challenges, and feel more in control of your life.
Positive Psychology
I use Positive Psychology to help clients focus on their strengths, build resilience, and uncover what brings meaning and fulfillment to their lives. Together, we shift the focus from problems to possibilities, exploring ways to cultivate gratitude, optimism, and balance. This approach empowers you to create a more fulfilling and joyful life by emphasizing growth and well-being.
