About Sonni
Sonni Parks (Williams) is a licensed professional counselor who helps people reshape the story they tell about themselves. She focuses on codependency, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her style aims to help people find their voice and take clearer action toward the life they want.
She believes people live through the stories they inherit and repeat. In sessions she uses narrative techniques and bibliotherapy to separate a person from their problems. That often looks like identifying unhelpful messages from the past and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving.
Her approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and elements of dialectical behavior work. These methods give concrete tools for managing strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking, and building values-driven goals.
Sonni describes the work as collaborative and action-focused. She helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and choose responses that reflect their priorities. Many clients use this to address communication problems, control issues, jealousy, and blended family challenges.
She holds an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and works from South Carolina. With about six years of experience, she aims to make therapy practical and readable, using simple exercises and suggested readings to support progress.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and committed action. It helps people clarify what matters and take steps toward those priorities even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. Those changes can be practiced between sessions with concrete exercises or reading materials.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods best match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift as progress is made and different tools are tried.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use written exercises, readings, and between-session experiments as part of their work, which pairs well with narrative techniques and bibliotherapy.
