About Sonya

Sonya Belletti is a Florida-licensed LCSW with 26 years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship challenges, family transitions, grief, trauma, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

She trained in psychology and child and family studies at Syracuse University and completed her master’s in social work at San Jose State University with a clinical focus on child and family issues. Over a multi-decade career she has worked in independent practice as well as community and school-based settings, bringing broad exposure to varied life circumstances.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical skills, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-based and client-centered strategies to address stress, anxiety, depression, parenting difficulties, and issues related to intimacy and communication. Sonya adapts conversations and interventions to each person’s situation, offering a trauma-informed perspective for those coping with loss, perinatal concerns, or past abuse.

She aims to help clients build tools for self-understanding, clearer communication, and healthier coping patterns. Known for respectful, empathic care, she works with people across a wide range of concerns including ADHD, career stress, compassion fatigue, and blended family dynamics.

Sonya frames therapy as a partnership focused on practical steps and personal empowerment, helping clients move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sonya uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem solving. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas that explore relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve connection and communication. Additionally, a client-centered stance guides sessions so the client’s priorities and perspective shape the work and pace of therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Sonya works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting interventions over time so that therapy stays focused and relevant to the client’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care: sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to use the therapeutic tools discussed in sessions in daily life, while allowing scheduling that accommodates work, family, and other commitments.
