About Sydnie
Sydnie Butin works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem. She aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Sydnie introduces practical steps and gentle reflection so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.
Sydnie is a medical doctor, MD, and also holds an LCSW-C, a licensed clinical social worker credential in Maryland. Her combined training gives her a broad viewpoint on emotional and behavioral concerns.
How Sydnie works
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people sort out what matters most to them. In sessions she focuses on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, feelings of emptiness, and the guilt or shame that follows mistakes. She also helps people who struggle with panic attacks, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, and loneliness.
Conversations aim to name patterns, practice new responses, and build small habits that add up over time. Sydnie tends to a whole-person perspective, noticing how physical habits, thought patterns, and relationships interact. She works with clients to set realistic goals and track progress.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sydnie practices in Maryland and speaks English.
Her work has been shaped by six years of clinical experience as a licensed professional.

Online support options
Evidence-based care through online sessions
Sydnie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people recognize anxious or negative thoughts and practice alternative ways of thinking that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - setting small, achievable tasks to break cycles of avoidance and build confidence in managing symptoms like panic or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions match the person’s needs and pace of change.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
