Sonya Belletti , LCSW

Sonya Belletti is a Florida-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 26 years of experience providing clinical support to individuals and families. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Child and Family Studies at Syracuse University and earned a Master of Social Work from San Jose State University with a clinical focus on child and family concerns. Her career includes work in private practice as well as community and school-based settings, bringing experience with clients from diverse backgrounds and age groups.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns such as ADHD, parenting and fatherhood challenges, relationship and intimacy-related issues, premarital counseling, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and perinatal loss and postpartum matters. She is trained in trauma-informed care and uses a mix of clinical approaches to meet each person where they are, including client-centered and solution-focused methods alongside psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and interpersonal techniques.

Known for cultural competence and an empathetic, respectful stance, Sonya tailors conversations to individual needs and emphasizes practical skills and empowerment. She works to help clients find their voices and develop tools to navigate life transitions, family conflicts, and emotional stressors. She looks forward to engaging with those who seek support on their journey.

Online approaches for relationship and family work

Sonya draws from attachment-based work to explore how early bonds and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior - this approach helps people address attachment issues, commitment concerns, and intimacy-related struggles by looking at connection and trust. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and building a collaborative, respectful relationship so clients can identify their goals and feel supported while they work toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Sonya approaches this collaboratively, discussing needs, goals, and preferences with each person to determine which methods fit best. She works alongside clients to adjust techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
