About Sonya
Sonya Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on somatic and talk-based approaches to help people move past feeling stuck. Sonya aims to help clients find steady steps toward change and greater well-being.
She listens first and then helps identify practical goals. Sessions often explore patterns in relationships, self-esteem, eating and body image, sleep, and work stress. Sonya also supports people facing loss, trauma, big life changes, and caregiving strain.
Background and approach
Her approach blends body-focused awareness with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral ideas. That means paying attention to how stress shows up in the body, noticing thoughts that get in the way, and practicing small behavior changes. She uses mindfulness and emotion-focused tools to help people gain clarity and calm.
Sonya draws on long experience as a counselor and coach. She helps people find their internal strengths and outside resources. The work is practical and paced to what each person needs, with room for both short-term problem solving and longer personal growth.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different schedules. People can expect straightforward feedback, curiosity, and support as they try new ways of coping and connecting.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Somatic work focuses on how emotions and stress show up in the body and uses awareness of breath, posture, and bodily sensation to help people calm and regulate. It can be useful for trauma recovery, anxiety, and persistent tension that does not respond to talk alone.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own values and choices. The therapist offers listening, reflection, and gentle guidance so people can name goals and take steps that feel authentic to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces small, practical changes. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and adjust techniques based on your needs and preferences. Together you can try different methods and settle on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video and phone let you talk through emotional material in real time, while live chat and text provide ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and different comfort levels with communication styles.
