About Sonya
Sonya Belletti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma and other life stresses. Sonya also helps with issues tied to self-esteem, grief, ADHD, career concerns, and intimacy-related problems.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Syracuse University with a minor in Child and Family Studies, and a Master of Social Work from San Jose State University with a clinical focus on child and family issues. Her background includes work in private practice, community settings, and schools. Those roles shaped a practical approach to everyday struggles.
Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies. Sonya draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also incorporates attachment-based perspectives when relationship patterns are central to the problem.
In therapy she listens for what matters most and then works on specific skills and steps. That can include communication skills, managing strong emotions, or planning behavioral changes that fit daily life. Mindfulness techniques and elements of the Gottman Method are used when relevant to relationship recovery.
People who contact her typically want straightforward help with concrete problems. Sonya guides short-term planning and longer-term work depending on the concern. Sessions are practical and focused on what the person wants to change next.
How CBT, attachment work and client-centered care translate to online sessions
Sonya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small, practical experiments to change unhelpful habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where thoughts and behaviors keep a problem going.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. That approach helps when trust, closeness, or recurring relationship fights are the main issue. Client-Centered Therapy forms the base of her work by keeping the conversation focused on the person's priorities and pacing the work to what feels doable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit the issue, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT techniques and adding attachment or mindfulness elements as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow work during a lunch break or from home when schedules are tight. Phone sessions can be useful for brief check-ins and require less bandwidth, while video allows for more interactive exercises and visual cues. Ask about available formats when scheduling to match the sessions to everyday life.
