About Sonya
Sonya Belletti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship, family, parenting, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, attachment questions, and life transitions.
She trained in psychology at Syracuse University and completed a Master of Social Work at San Jose State University with a clinical focus on child and family issues. Over her career she has worked in private practice, community programs, and school-based settings. That variety informs her practical approach to everyday family problems.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what’s happening now. She uses client-centered methods and solution-focused conversations to identify small steps a person can try between visits. Cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies are offered to manage anxiety, mood, and stress reactions.
Attachment-based ideas guide work around trust, boundaries, and closeness. The Gottman Method influences how she talks about communication and conflict in relationships. Conversations about parenting and blended households aim to make routines clearer and reduce day-to-day friction.
People who prefer clear, practical guidance tend to do well with her style. She asks about goals and adapts methods to fit what someone wants to change. Session details and formats should be confirmed before booking.
How her approaches fit into online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and trust. It looks at how early relationships shape reactions now and helps people change how they connect. This approach is useful for attachment questions, blended family tensions, and intimacy concerns.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients choose next steps. It works well when someone needs a respectful space to sort priorities and make practical changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It provides specific exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and alter unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to identify what makes sense based on goals, current problems, and preferences. That means methods can shift as progress or needs change.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit visits into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use mindfulness practices and behavioral experiments between meetings to reinforce what is discussed.
