She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused ideas to map current patterns and try new responses. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her style centers on clarifying what matters to each person and building motivation for gradual change. Sonia helps clients break down big problems into manageable tasks. She also addresses issues such as body image, communication problems, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and substance use concerns.

How Sonia uses evidence-based approaches online
Sonia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts and offers concrete experiments to test what works, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and self-esteem concerns.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action even when strong emotions are present. ACT can help when someone wants to shift how they respond to difficult feelings rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sonia collaborates with each client to pick approaches that match their goals and daily life. She will review what has helped before and adjust plans based on what the client prefers and how they respond to strategies.
