How her approaches translate to online work
Sonia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as cornerstones of her practice. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values, which can be useful for life changes and coping with loss. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing specific techniques to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sonia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan based on what is helping.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when therapy fits into their regular routine. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and Sonia will help match the work to each clients everyday life and goals.
