Sonya Belletti

Sonya Belletti is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She brings a long career supporting people through relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and major life changes. She meets clients with respect and a calm, direct approach.

She trained in psychology at Syracuse University and earned a Master of Social Work at San Jose State University, focusing on child and family issues. Her background includes private practice work and roles in community and school-based settings. This variety shaped a practical way of working with everyday problems.

Sonya adapts conversations to each person's needs. She leans on client-centered work and applies cognitive behavioral ideas when helpful. She also draws from attachment-based thinking, mindfulness practices, and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns.

Typical sessions focus on clear goals. Sonya helps people sort priorities, find coping skills for stress and anxiety, and navigate transitions like separation or caregiving strain. She also supports those facing trauma, perinatal loss, or challenges linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She aims to help people identify steps they can try between sessions. Many clients come to work on better communication, more stable mood, or greater confidence as they move through life changes.

Approaches that guide online work and change-focused care

Sonya commonly uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This means listening closely, setting goals together, and shaping sessions around each person's priorities and strengths.

She also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches clear skills to manage anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. Attachment-based ideas are another strand of her work, helping people understand relationship patterns and build more secure ways of relating.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and try different strategies to see what fits. That collaborative testing helps match methods to needs over time rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the session formats with Sonya before booking so you know what she currently offers. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It also makes it simple to continue care through life changes, while the therapist and client adjust goals and tools as progress happens.
