Background and approach
Her career includes roles in independent practice, community programs, and school-based settings. Sonya helps people navigating relationship and parenting challenges, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, and career and life transitions.

Sonya blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools, attachment ideas, mindfulness, and elements of the Gottman Method to fit each person’s needs. She speaks English and practices in Florida as FL LCSW SW12485. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people connect today. Online work can help identify patterns in how someone bonds, so they can try new ways of relating in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives tools to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and everyday challenges, then suggest methods to try. Together you will adjust techniques and decide what feels most helpful over time so sessions match your needs and preferences.
Online formats offer different practical benefits. Video calls let you see nonverbal cues and hold conversations similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a camera is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between scheduled meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around school, work, and parenting demands.
