About Sonia
Sonia Rodrigues-Marto is an LPC and LMFT licensed in New Jersey with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Sonia works with adults who want clear, practical ways to manage problems that affect daily life.
Sonia uses straightforward, goal-focused work to address what is most pressing. She listens to each person’s story and looks for patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active. From there she suggests concrete steps to test different responses and build new habits. Sonia has two decades of experience working with family-related issues such as blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions, and divorce or separation. She also addresses communication problems, commitment or infidelity stresses, and feelings like guilt, shame, or isolation. Practical tools form a key part of her work - simple exercises for managing anxiety, short behavioral experiments, and mindful attention to daily routines. Sonia encourages people to try small changes between sessions and to notice what helps. If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Sonia integrates structured approaches into online work
Sonia combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques in practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral experiments to change day-to-day reactions. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experience, clarifying values, and taking actions that connect to what matters. Client-centered work keeps the person’s own goals and perspectives central to planning next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sonia discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on what helps most. That collaborative decision-making aims to match tools to the problems someone brings, whether that means skill practice, values-based actions, or reflective listening.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. People often find that remote sessions fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to try homework between meetings. Sonia encourages practical use of skills between sessions so work can fit into everyday life.
