About Sonya

Sonya Belletti is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of professional experience supporting people through relationship challenges, transitions, and stressors.

Background and approach

She trained in psychology and child and family studies at Syracuse University and completed a Master of Social Work at San Jose State University with a clinical emphasis on child and family issues. Over the years she has worked in independent practice as well as community and school-based settings, bringing long-term clinical experience to each client encounter.

Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, parenting and fatherhood issues, grief and perinatal loss, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, career and life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other areas.

Sonya draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices, tailoring interventions to the specific needs and goals presented in sessions. She aims to create an empathetic, respectful environment that supports clients in finding practical skills and personal agency.

Sonya provides services in English and accepts clients located in Florida. She approaches each client collaboratively, focusing on clarity, coping strategies, and stronger communication as pathways to change.

Online approaches that support relationships and coping

Sonya uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relational patterns affect feelings of trust and closeness, which can help people improve connection and address communication or commitment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach she uses, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while identifying their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to help identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself and Sonya treats that as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems a client brings to determine which combination of methods feels most useful, adjusting the treatment plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats allow clients to access regular therapy from home or work, make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
