About Sonya
Sonya Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people move from feeling stuck to making meaningful change. She draws on 25 years of experience to support people with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other life challenges including trauma and grief. She uses a practical, strength-focused approach.
Sessions start by identifying a clear goal. Then she helps people notice resources they already have and build steps they can use right away.
Background and approach
Her style is direct and curious, and she blends counseling with coaching when clients want structure to reach their goals. Sonya works with a range of issues such as sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, body image and career concerns. She also supports people navigating divorce, blended family issues, first responder stress, and caregiving strain.
Phobias are included among the concerns she lists as an area of focus. Therapeutic methods she uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She often pairs these with health and wellness coaching to tackle behavior change and wellbeing goals.
Sessions are offered by phone, video, live chat, and text messaging. Sonya practices from South Carolina and conducts sessions in English, accepting international clients. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that fit daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies goals, and offers reflections to help people feel understood and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It works well for anxiety, phobias, sleep problems, and mood concerns by using exercises, experiments, and homework that can be done between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reorganize emotional responses that get in the way of relationships and connection. Online work with EFT often centers on identifying emotions, naming patterns, and practicing new ways to respond.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to choose or blend methods. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, between-session support, and using short interventions in moments of stress. These options provide flexibility while keeping focus on achievable steps and real-life practice.
