About Sonya
Sonya Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions. Sonya also helps people with parenting concerns, sleep problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy, eating, body image, and self-esteem.
She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally focused methods. Sessions include coaching elements and mindfulness practices to help people take practical steps. Sonya often encourages small action steps and helps people notice what already works for them.
Her approach draws on positive psychology and health coaching to highlight strengths and values. That means identifying realistic goals, spotting internal and external resources, and trying experiments that can change daily life. She sometimes uses Emotional Freedom Techniques, commonly called tapping, alongside talk-based strategies.
Sonya describes herself as direct and curious. She uses phone and video sessions alongside text support at times, and includes short check-ins to keep progress moving. Payment varies by location and is handled through a cancelable subscription model.
To begin, people use the site’s matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sonya accepts international clients and offers work in English. Her background as an LPC and two master’s degrees inform a practical, strengths-focused practice.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sonya combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally focused methods. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation centers on the person’s concerns and priorities, helping them notice what matters and choose steps that make sense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and supports practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings that shape relationships and interactions, which can be useful when intimacy or communication is a central problem.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sonya will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying cognitive techniques for sleep or mood, mindfulness for stress, or emotionally focused work for relationship concerns, and then adjusting based on what helps most.
The therapist’s biography notes she uses phone and video sessions as well as text support, but exact online formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make regular check-ins easier to schedule, allow shorter focused visits when time is limited, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy week. She uses coaching elements and brief check-ins to keep progress moving while tailoring the pace to the person’s life.
