About Sonia
Sonia Wiesner is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience. She practices in Wisconsin and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Sonia aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.
Sonia uses clear, practical methods to help clients notice patterns that cause trouble. She helps people improve communication, manage strong emotions like anger, and handle family-related problems. Sessions focus on concrete skills as well as understanding feelings behind behavior.
Background and approach
Her work draws on client-centered approaches that put the person's goals first. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are woven in to help with emotion regulation and impulse control.
Sonia has experience guiding people through major life changes such as divorce, separation, and midlife transitions. She also supports those coping with trauma, complicated grief, and caregiver stress. Her background includes helping people sort attachment concerns and work through feelings of guilt, shame, and abandonment.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Sonia blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness practices. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around the person's goals, which helps people feel heard and involved in planning change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sonia will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time, mixing listening, skill-building, and mindful practices to find what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum between appointments.
