Online care and therapeutic methods
Sonya offers remote sessions that draw on goal-oriented and trauma-informed methods while adapting to each person s pace. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to clarify patterns of thought and behavior, help identify unhelpful cycles, and support practical steps for managing symptoms related to stress, anxiety, and panic. Sessions can include discussion, skill-building, and planning tailored to the presenting concern.
For those affected by traumatic events or relational wounds, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems are part of her toolbox. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding the impact of painful experiences and creating a safe structure for processing them. Internal Family Systems explores internal parts and their roles, helping people develop a compassionate, organized inner dialogue. These approaches are presented in collaboration with the person or family so goals and pacing reflect their priorities.
Remote work is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the communication mode that fits their situation.
