About Sonya

With formal training at the doctoral level and experience across medical and community settings, she frames care through an integrated lens that considers both emotional needs and practical health concerns. Her stated focus areas include ADHD as well as career challenges, stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and depression, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

She practices using a range of therapeutic methods, including attachment-informed work, client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy, adapting these tools to a person’s individual situation. Dr.

Anthony’s profile notes experience with hospital and rehabilitation settings, outpatient psychotherapy, intensive in-home services, and mental health skill building, and she brings that varied background into online session formats. She holds LCSW licensure in Virginia and aims to offer care that integrates behavioral health alongside medical needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early attachment experiences shape current emotional responses; it can be helpful for people working through trust, connection, and relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist provides empathy and support while clients lead the pace and content of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills.

Finding the right fit among these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what resonates in session, then adjust methods over time to align with evolving needs and priorities.

Online therapy with this practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, health, and family commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when schedules are busy or mobility is limited, allowing licensed professionals to use attachment-informed, client-centered, or CBT techniques through formats that suit the client’s life.
