About Sonjit
Sonjit Mukherjee is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with deep experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. He offers straightforward, practical support and aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly about what they are feeling. He frames therapy as a collaborative process that respects each person's pace and goals.
He commonly helps people dealing with depression, addictions, self-esteem concerns, and challenges tied to intimacy and trauma.
Background and approach
ADHD is also listed among his focus areas, alongside work on career strain and coping with life changes. He draws on approaches that encourage present-moment awareness and active problem solving.
Over nearly three decades of practice, he has worked with clients facing a wide range of difficulties, including caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, body image concerns, and issues connected to adoption or abandonment. That experience informs a flexible way of tailoring sessions to what each person needs most.
Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on usable skills as well as emotional understanding. His style blends acceptance-based work with cognitive and emotion-focused strategies. He emphasizes clear communication and shared decision making so clients leave sessions with something they can try right away.
The aim is steady progress toward more manageable daily routines and clearer relationships. Sonjit practices in Massachusetts and conducts sessions in English. He supports people who are managing grief, mood shifts, relationship conflict, or life transitions and offers options suited to different schedules and preferences.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or focus. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods collaboratively. That way the plan reflects both practical needs and personal values rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options offer flexibility for different rhythms of life while maintaining a consistent therapeutic focus.
