Background and approach
Sonni blends talking, reading suggestions, and practical exercises to make change feel doable. Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new ways of responding.
Clients can expect a mix of short skills practice and deeper conversations about meaning and values. Sonni draws from several approaches depending on the concern. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take small, meaningful actions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy offer concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - practicing in South Carolina.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through online formats that fit modern schedules. Sonni has six years of experience supporting people through change and recovery.
Approaches to change and how online sessions help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps that align with those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck by worry or loss of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions in relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief coaching, between-session check-ins, or clients who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between sessions.
