About Sonia
Sonia Wiesner is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. Her work also covers parenting challenges, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related struggles.
She focuses on practical communication skills and clearer boundaries. That can mean talking through difficult conversations, learning new coping tools, or planning steps for life changes like divorce or separation. Sonia also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and impulse control problems.
Her sessions draw on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means starting from the client's priorities, then using exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness skills and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation when needed.
Sonia has worked with people facing caregiver stress, attachment wounds, and the particular tensions that come with blending households. She describes these topics in straightforward terms and focuses on achievable next steps rather than abstract theory.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients set goals and practice skills between meetings. Practical problem solving, short-term strategies, and building communication habits are common parts of the work.
For someone juggling relationships, parenting demands, or the stress of a new blended family situation, Sonia offers steady, focused support aimed at clearer routines and less reactive conflict.
How Sonia uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those priorities. It is useful when someone needs a respectful space to sort out feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that reinforce them. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and problem patterns like avoidance or repeated conflict.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements teach specific skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. These tools can help with anger, emotional dysregulation, and stronger responses to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative and goal-focused rather than one-size-fits-all.
