Background and approach

Sessions often focus on building confidence, increasing motivation, and finding direction after a major life change like a separation. Soni brings five years of clinical experience in Georgia and Maryland. Her background includes supporting people through workplace strain, issues affecting women, and challenges faced by young adults.

She encourages realistic steps toward forgiveness, clearer life purpose, and improved day-to-day coping. In sessions she works at the person’s pace and follows what feels most useful to them. Conversations tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth rather than overly technical.

Soni sees therapy as a partnership built around the client’s knowledge of their own life. She holds an MD degree and is licensed as an LCPC and LPC. Those credentials reflect professional training and practice in counseling.

Soni offers several remote formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Client-centered care delivered online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and aims to build on natural strengths. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is heard, and helps people decide what matters most. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose what to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the client in the lead.

Online therapy with Soni uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coping reminders, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
