About Sonya
Sonya Belletti is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience helping people navigate relationship and family challenges. She practices in Florida and draws on a long history of work in independent practice, community settings, and schools. Her background includes training in social work and a focus on child and family issues.
Her sessions are practical and down-to-earth. She listens first and helps people name the problems they want to change.
Background and approach
Then she offers tools to improve communication, manage stress, and build routines that make daily life easier. She works with concerns such as ADHD, parenting strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and intimacy-related issues. Sonya uses approaches that center the person’s experience.
She leans on client-centered work to meet people where they are. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on connection and trust in close relationships.
She has supported people through family transitions, blended family challenges, fertility and fatherhood issues, and recovery after loss. She also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue, and coping with natural or human-caused disasters. Her style is respectful and culturally aware, aiming to empower clients rather than dictate solutions.
For many clients she blends talk and practical coaching. Sessions may include skill practice, communication exercises, and brief behavioral experiments to test new ways of relating. She focuses on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sonya commonly draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person’s needs, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering simple exercises to test new habits and reduce unhelpful thinking. She treats approach selection as a shared process. Together the therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person’s life and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions for relationship strain, ADHD-related challenges, or grief. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins or coaching-style support between sessions. These options give flexibility for short check-ins, practicing communication skills, or keeping momentum during life transitions.Questions people ask
