About Soni

Soni Dani-Cox is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with a decade of professional experience based in California. She draws on varied therapeutic models to help clients identify underlying causes of distress and develop sustainable coping strategies.

Background and approach

Her work blends insight-oriented dialogue with evidence-informed techniques so interventions match each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Her approach is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She integrates cognitive-behavioral methods alongside emotion-focused and mindfulness practices, and she also uses elements from dialectical and relational frameworks. This combination supports work on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, grief, and career-related stress.

Soni emphasizes collaborative treatment planning and practical tools that promote long-term emotional health. She encourages clients to take steps toward change at a pace that feels manageable, offering guidance aimed at empowerment and resilience.

Sessions are tailored to address each person's unique goals and life circumstances.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore and reorganize emotional responses within relationships, supporting clearer attachment and improved emotional connection. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and enhance coping across a range of challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and typically happens collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns to determine which methods or combination of methods best fit each person, and will adjust plans as work unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling that fits different routines and life demands while enabling ongoing skill practice between sessions. Working with licensed professionals in these ways makes it possible to pursue consistent therapeutic support without needing to travel to an office.
