With five years of professional experience as an LMHC, Sonja brings steady clinical experience and a straightforward style. She asks questions, listens without judgment, and adapts plans as needs change. If you are ready to begin, she guides you through the next steps toward scheduling and care.
How Sonja's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness; it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin struggles. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, using empathetic listening to help people feel heard and clearer about their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sonja will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It also supports consistent practice of techniques between meetings, such as CBT exercises or emotion regulation skills, which can speed skill-building and make progress feel more manageable.
