About Sonni
Sonni Parks (Williams) is an LPC with six years of clinical experience in South Carolina. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside narrative approaches. That means she notices unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then works with clients to try different ways of responding. She also uses acceptance and commitment techniques, client-centered skills, and some elements of dialectical behavior therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship concerns come up.
In sessions she talks through the stories people tell about themselves and looks for small, testable changes. Clients might track thoughts, try behavior experiments, or reframe old narratives. She often recommends short exercises to practice between sessions so progress is clearer and measurable.
Her background emphasizes helping people rewrite their personal narratives and find a clearer sense of agency. That can include reading assignments or bibliotherapy as part of treatment, alongside conversation and skills practice. The focus is on concrete changes people can make in daily life.
People who contact her will move from describing problems toward specific steps they can test. The work aims to reduce distress and increase practical coping skills through structured methods and regular check-ins.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can include reviewing thought records, planning behavior experiments, and checking progress between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and then choose actions that match personal values. In remote sessions this can mean short exercises and values-focused homework to practice during the week. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship; online meetings are used to reflect concerns and set practical goals together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaboration guides whether more CBT, ACT, or client-centered techniques are used over time.
Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows written materials, reading recommendations, and homework to be shared between sessions so progress can continue in everyday life.
