More about Sonia

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • Psychologist

I am a licensed psychologist in California. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach to therapy is integrative and holistic— mainly informed through psychodynamic (insight-oriented), somatic (body-focused), interpersonal approaches. In sessions, we might focus on exploring patterns that are contributing to your current concerns (e.g. childhood experiences or family relationships, defenses, previous similar situations), your relationship patterns with others and your relationship with yourself, somatic movement/exercises, or processing and understanding your emotions. At times, I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) if it is a better fit for what you might be seeking therapy for. Regardless of the approach we use, the focus will always be on empowerment, agency, and developing a stronger relationship with yourself.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
