About Sonia

Sonia Gallegos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Arizona with six years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She began her career providing therapeutic services within a government agency and has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family challenges, and ADHD. Her background includes work with issues related to sleep, eating, parenting, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Sonia favors evidence-informed, solution-oriented care and draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy when shaping treatment. She individualizes each plan in collaboration with clients, focusing on practical strategies and goals that reflect the client’s priorities.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, and Sonia aims to create a supportive space for people seeking change and coping tools.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore values and goals. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what matters most when life feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with practical strategies to change feelings and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and techniques to reduce reactivity, which can support emotional regulation and stress management. These approaches can be combined and adapted to meet individual needs in an online setting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will happen collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as progress emerges.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options provide ways to engage with therapeutic tools and receive professional support from licensed professionals without needing to travel to an office.
