Greetings! Emotional well-being is just as important to me as breathing, so let’s start your journey to self-discovery and wellness together! My name is Sydney Royes and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have a Master’s Degree from Howard University and I believe that if you are seeking answers and understanding, you should be afforded the opportunity for reflection and growth. Together, we can make that journey towards wellness.
My fifteen years of experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with clients from all walks of life. I understand the day to day struggles of balancing work and homelife, the pressures of parenting, or the stress and anxiety of caring for an aging family member. If you seek guidance navigating any of these issues, or need help managing a more acute diagnosis, I am here to help you. As a licensed therapist, I use a strength-based approach and look through a systemic and social justice lens to help my client navigate a holistic journey towards self-discovery and wellness. My areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, family issues, and interpersonal issues. In my practice, I aim to be your loudest cheerleader, your devoted coach and staunch advocate as you work towards your desired goals.
Therapy is an ever-evolving process and I use an eclectic therapeutic style. I commonly use cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to assist my clients on their journey to wellness. Please contact me for more details. I look forward to speaking with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love having Sydney to talk with she helps me with some of my mom's guilt and even gives me things to self-reflect on. It feels like talking to a supportive best friend and I love it.
She is great at listening and helping find a solution. She gives great words of wisdom and helps recenter the person. She’s very kind and upbeat.
Sydney is great at listening to all I have to say then challenging me with new perspectives or ways to move forward. She makes me feel heard and validated in ways I’m not used to.

I’ve been in therapy since I was five years old. Over 20 years of therapy and Sydney is the best therapist I’ve ever had.
Sydney has a great personality and she is great at listening. She is not judgmental and is open to assisting as much as she can.
I really loved talking to Ms. Sydney Royes. She really helped me get to the deep foundation of things and gave perspective on the importance of my situation. I really felt comfortable with her. Thank you Ms. Royes. I truly appreciate your time.
Sydney is incredible and very helpful. I truly feel better knowing she’s my therapist
Sydney is such an awesome and positive therapist! I look forward to our sessions each week!
I highly recommend Sydney as a therapist. Emotional progress is the only way I can describe what has happened to me since I started meeting with her. She creates a safe space where I can dump my complicated emotions. Sydney has given me constructive & compelling counsel to help me sort my chaos.
