About Sonya
Dr. Sonya Boone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Hawaii with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family concerns, parenting strain, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She provides support for work-related stress, compassion fatigue, and complex emotional challenges.
Boone holds a Doctorate in Behavioral Health and multiple graduate degrees in related fields. She uses that background to help people find concrete ways to manage symptoms and daily pressures. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix is used to help with emotional regulation, changing unhelpful thinking, and increasing present-moment awareness.
She often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, and the effects of chronic illness or trauma. Boone also offers coaching-style support around career concerns and transitions when needed.
People can expect down-to-earth conversations that focus on specific goals. The work often includes skill practice, clearer communication strategies, and steps to reduce overwhelm. Boone helps people break large problems into manageable actions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they apply online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting caught by them, then identify values to guide action. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to shift patterns that keep problems going. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT and CBT techniques, adding mindfulness practices, or using client-centered conversations to process difficult material.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue care if they move or travel internationally. Licensed professionals can adjust session pacing, homework, and skill practice to suit the realities of daily life.
