Sydney Daugherty, PLPC

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Sydney Moreno, and I am a provisionally licensed professional counselor with a deep passion for supporting individuals through their unique journeys. I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lindenwood University. During that time I was given the opportunity to work in a partial hospitalization program for disordered eating, which truly shaped my understanding of the complexities people face and the value of therapeutic connection.

One of the things I value most in my work is the chance to connect with people of all backgrounds and ages. As a younger clinician, I find that I can build genuine, empathetic relationships with children, teens and young adults, offering a perspective that resonates with their experiences and challenges. I’m dedicated to working with individuals starting from age nine all the way into adulthood, navigating everything from major life adjustments—like the loss of a loved one or a traumatic experience—to ongoing struggles with depression and anxiety.

My approach is always client-centered. I believe in walking alongside individuals in their therapeutic journey, supporting them with warmth and understanding as they explore and address the challenges they face. I also believe in staying true to myself, which means I like to intertwine professionalism with some light-hearted humor. Whether a client is dealing with something specific, or just needs a space to talk, I’m here to listen and help guide them through.

I look genuinely forward to the possibility of working with you and supporting you in finding the path that feels right.

I am currently under supervision of Lisa Panicola, LPC.
