About Sonya

Sonya Bryce is an LPC with 21 years of experience who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, trauma, grief, ADHD, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She practices with an open, approachable manner and emphasizes collaboration when clients face mood disorders, relationship and communication problems, career and financial stress, or the effects of past abuse and loss. Her style blends practical skills and motivational support.

Sonya often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while applying motivational interviewing to build readiness and sustain change. She adapts strategies to each person's situation and works with clients on realistic goal-setting, coping with life transitions, and addressing compassion fatigue or caregiver stress.

Licensed in Arizona (AZ LPC LPC-14494) and Virginia (VA LPC 0701003322), she offers services to adults in Virginia and brings a nonjudgmental, strengths-based stance to clinical work. Sonya welcomes clients who want a thoughtful, goal-oriented process for improving mood, managing ADHD-related challenges, confronting addiction, or finding more balance and purpose in daily life.

Approaches that guide remote care

Sonya commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonconfrontational method that helps people explore their own reasons for change and build motivation when addressing addictions, ambivalence, or difficult lifestyle changes.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process. She works together with clients to select and adapt approaches based on individual goals, preferences, and the issues at hand so treatment feels relevant and doable rather than formulaic.

Online therapy with Sonya uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to enhance accessibility and fit into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to practice skills between meetings, offering flexibility for clients balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
