About Sonya
Sonya Belletti is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma, mood challenges, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage problems and build clearer patterns in relationships.
Sonya trained in psychology at Syracuse University and completed a Master of Social Work at San Jose State University with a clinical focus on child and family issues. Her background includes private practice and work in community and school-based settings. This mix informs how she blends long-term insight with short-term problem solving.
Her approach centers on client-centered care and attachment-based ideas. She often uses cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. When relevant, she draws on work from the Gottman Method to address communication and intimacy-related issues.
In sessions she looks at how past relationships influence current reactions. That can mean clarifying triggers, practicing new ways to speak, or building routines that lower reactivity. She also helps people manage burnout, compassion fatigue, career stress, and the emotional fallout of loss or major change.
Sonya works with issues such as ADHD, forgiveness, blended family concerns, fatherhood issues, and caregiving stress. Her style is straightforward and practical, focused on helping people reduce overwhelming feelings and handle conflict more effectively.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sonya uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps when someone wants to understand why they get stuck in anger or relationship patterns and to try new ways of relating.She also uses client-centered methods that keep the focus on the person's concerns and goals. This means conversations are directed by what matters to the client, with the therapist offering reflection and practical suggestions. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonya will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That may mean combining attachment ideas, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and CBT tools to match the goals someone brings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins between commitments, using audio-only if video is difficult, or avoiding travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on anger, communication, and coping skills.
