Sylvia Akingbade, LPC

Sylvia Akingbade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She has supported children, adults, older adults, and individuals living with disabilities, gaining a broad perspective on how life events and stressors can affect people at different stages of life.

Sylvia sees this work as a calling and approaches each relationship with the belief that everyone benefits from someone who helps them process challenges. Her therapeutic style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a collaborative method that helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - with Person-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes the client's lead in sessions and honors individual needs and comfort levels. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that indicates formal training and state licensure in counseling.

In session, Sylvia aims to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to set and pursue their goals. She prioritizes meeting clients where they are, offering empathy and nonjudgmental guidance while helping clients build practical skills and insight. Sylvia encourages steady engagement in the therapeutic process as a path toward personal growth and clearer direction, and she looks forward to walking alongside clients on their journeys.
