Telehealth approach and communication options
Sonya Allen integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy into online work to meet a range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for the person to express priorities and perspectives, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools for identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Existential Therapy adds attention to meaning, values, and life choices when those themes arise.Sessions are collaborative: Sonya and the individual or family plan goals together and choose strategies from these approaches based on what feels most useful. That collaborative fit is intended to support practical problem solving as well as deeper reflection about values and identity when relevant.
Remote sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options enable ongoing contact and flexible ways to practice skills between scheduled sessions.
