About Sonya
Sonya Belletti is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of practice. She works with adults on relationship struggles, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and other life changes. Her background includes work in private practice, community programs, and school-based settings.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Syracuse University with a minor in Child and Family Studies. She completed a Master of Social Work at San Jose State University with a clinical focus on child and family issues. Sonya has experience supporting people facing perinatal loss and postpartum concerns as part of a broader clinical practice.
Sonya uses client-centered and solution-focused ways of working while drawing on several approaches, including attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, Gottman-informed work for relationships, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she talks through current concerns, helps people recognize patterns that come from their family of origin, and practices skills for managing stress and communication.
Her work often addresses issues tied to attachment and blended family arrangements, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and fatherhood concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, guilt and shame, and the ongoing effects of ADHD, trauma, or compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Sonya helps people map out steps to change patterns, try new ways of relating, and build clearer boundaries and routines. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of connection formed in early relationships. It helps people see how those patterns affect current relationships and guides practice of different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them. Mindfulness therapy adds attention and self-regulation skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferred ways of working, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they decide which approaches to emphasize and how to adapt them to the issues at hand.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency with appointments and try new communication or coping skills between meetings.
