About Sonya
Sonya Belletti is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience helping people navigate life transitions and relationship strain. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Syracuse University and a Master of Social Work from San Jose State University. Sonya has worked in private practice, community programs, and school settings, bringing a wide view of everyday challenges to her sessions.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear tools. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on listening and building small, doable changes. Sonya aims to help people find their voice and rebuild confidence after loss, stress, or major change.
Her areas of focus include relationship and family concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also works with common themes like guilt, shame, control issues, and communication difficulties.
Sonya draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness approaches. In practice she blends these tools to fit each person’s goals and situation rather than following a single formula.
People who prefer a respectful, straightforward style tend to do well with her approach. She invites clients to use sessions as a chance to try new ways of handling stress, repair difficult relationships, and build routines that support long-term change.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In practice she helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities; sessions aim to follow what the client brings and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and actions and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit their situation. The plan can change as progress is made, and choices about methods are made collaboratively.
The practical benefits of online work make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time, let them schedule shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid heavy commuting on busy days. Online sessions can also make it simpler to continue support after major life changes or during recovery from a disaster, while still using attachment, client-centered, and CBT strategies adapted for distance.
