Sylvia Stogner, LCSW

Sylvia Stogner is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience in Mississippi. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and anger. She also supports people dealing with ADHD and related struggles. Sylvia aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

Sylvia draws on decades of work in public and private settings. She has spent time helping adolescents and children with behavior in schools, and has worked with foster care and adoptive situations and with clients at home. Her background means she often brings practical, real-world strategies to sessions rather than abstract theory.

In sessions she focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings. She helps clients name their patterns and try new ways of responding. Conversations are steady and directed toward small, achievable changes that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Sylvia addresses issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, impulsivity, isolation, midlife questions, mood shifts, panic, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and women’s issues. She also works with forgiveness and life purpose questions.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions tend to focus on concrete tools, clearer communication, and coping skills that fit each person’s life. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in this practice focus on clear, practical tools that help with emotion regulation and daily coping. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence; this reduces worry and can lower anxiety or mood swings. Another common technique teaches skills for managing intense feelings and impulsive reactions, which is useful for anger, panic, and some ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusting based on how the client responds and what fits their goals and routines. This shared process helps make therapy feel relevant and doable.

Because the original biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also gives therapists and clients the flexibility to try different tools in the moment, such as pacing, breathing exercises, or brief behavioral experiments that transfer directly into daily life.
