About Sonya

Sonya Fields brings a client-centered approach rooted in positive psychology and practical goal work to help people make meaningful change. She emphasizes identifying individual strengths and external resources so clients can take clear action toward the life they want.

Background and approach

With a focus on collaboration, she supports people who feel stuck or who want structure and accountability to reach personal or health-related goals, integrating coaching skills alongside counseling techniques.

Fields draws on 25 years of experience as an LPC to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or parenting stress. She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Sessions commonly include a mix of phone or video meetings with supplemental text support to maintain momentum between appointments. Based in South Carolina and offering services in English, she encourages clients to build trust in their intuition, strengthen coping skills, and use their existing strengths to create sustainable change.

Sonya presents herself as a curious, honest guide who values perspective and empowerment in therapy.

Therapeutic approaches for online change and growth



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are, listening without judgment, and helping clients discover their own values and strengths to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns and improve mood and functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reorganize emotional responses within relationships to build deeper connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life, and may combine techniques to create an individualized plan that evolves over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, keep momentum between meetings through messaging support, and continue therapeutic work when in-person meetings are not feasible. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to apply CBT, EFT, and client-centered techniques effectively across different communication methods.
