Getting to know Sidraya Bussie
My name is Sidraya Bussie, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Jacksonville, FL, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and a Bachelor's degree from Savannah State University. I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse populations, providing specialty services in managing everyday challenges, life changes, and mental health conditions. I believe in taking a collaborative, holistic, and cognitive approach to counseling-tailored specifically to each client's needs-to help alleviate discrepancies, increase motivation, and find purpose and balance during their journey to self-healing.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a holistic approach, as these modalities help build a shared understanding of their reality. Together, we focus on the positive aspects of their lives, gain greater self-awareness, and work to increase self-esteem and self-confidence.
My focus
I have found that my therapeutic style and approach are a good fit for young and older adults facing life transitions, stressors, and social pressures. These challenges often manifest as anxiety, depression, stress, or anger management issues. I work to help clients navigate these transition periods and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.
My communication style
My communication style balances assertiveness, active listening, silence, calmness, down-to-earth exploration, clarification, accommodation, and warmth. I want my clients to feel comfortable discussing anything with me. I pride myself on being nonjudgmental, respectful, and supportive, allowing people to be their authentic selves.
