About Sonya
Sonya Belletti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, career strain, ADHD, and other life changes.
She trained in psychology and social work and has worked in private practice, community settings, and schools. That background informs a practical, straightforward way of working. Sessions focus on what a person needs now - clearer communication, coping skills, or sorting out next steps.
Sonya uses approaches that emphasize how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. She also uses client-centered methods that let the person set goals and pace the work.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when people want concrete tools to manage anxiety, depression, or unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce stress and improve emotional tolerance. Elements of the Gottman Method are used for conversations about commitment and communication.
Her additional focus areas include blended family issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, fertility and perinatal loss, forgiveness work, and family-of-origin problems. Language of sessions is English and she provides therapy from Florida. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and options.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize why they react a certain way with partners, parents, or close others and offers ways to try new responses. Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first. The therapist listens, follows the person’s pace, and helps clarify what matters most so sessions stay focused on practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives straightforward strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress, and provides homework and skill practice between meetings. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals and situations evolve. The biography does not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try different session rhythms and homework structures while keeping the focus on communication, coping skills, and relationship patterns.Areas of focus
