About Sonia
Sonia Shamoon is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing common concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Sonia also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and often helps people adjust to new household roles and changing family routines.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations about panic, posttraumatic stress, attachment worries, and fears. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, and on understanding how past experiences shape current responses.
Sonia pays attention to multicultural concerns and the impact of discrimination on mental health. She supports people coping with domestic violence, abandonment, and the effects of narcissistic relationships. Practical problem solving and emotional processing are common parts of her work.
She also supports those dealing with life transitions such as divorce or caregiver stress. Topics like body image, postpartum depression, guilt, and forgiveness are addressed in direct, goal-oriented ways. Sonia aims to help people name what is happening and try small changes that make life more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many of Sonia's methods are rooted in well-studied, practical approaches. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and depression; this helps with panic, phobias, and daily worries. Another approach concentrates on how early attachment and relationship experiences shape current reactions; it can help people understand loyalty conflicts and patterns in close relationships. A trauma-informed approach helps people work through distressing memories and reactions in paced, manageable steps that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will talk with each person about goals, what has or hasn't helped before, and preferences, and then jointly decide which techniques to try. That collaborative process can evolve as needs change.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It can also let someone use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult, which can help maintain consistency without requiring on-camera sessions.
