About Sonia
Sonia Shamoon is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with 22 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sonia also helps people who are questioning life purpose and those coping with attachment and abandonment concerns.
Sonia takes a straightforward, culturally aware approach. She asks practical questions about what feels stuck and what small changes might matter. Sessions focus on clear goals and on skills that can be used day to day. She pays attention to how culture, identity, and past hurt shape current choices.
Her work often includes people recovering from domestic violence, navigating divorce and blended family issues, or managing caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, panic and phobias, and the effects of narcissistic relationships. Sonia listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding.
Sonia has experience with postpartum depression and with people dealing with grief after major loss. She combines practical coping strategies with conversation about meaning and priorities when someone is rethinking work, relationships, or health. Her aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many clients find cognitive-behavioral techniques useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias. These methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Approaches that address attachment and abandonment look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Work in this area involves noticing interaction patterns, practicing new ways of relating, and building clearer expectations in relationships.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Sonia will work with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques as needed so work stays practical and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try therapy from familiar surroundings while focusing on steady, practical steps toward clearer direction.
