Sonja Allardyce, LCSW

Sonja Allardyce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and anger. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep and eating issues, addictions, ADHD, career changes, and parenting strains.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people notice patterns that feed anger and frustration, and then practices concrete skills to respond differently. Sessions often focus on learning emotional regulation skills, improving communication, and building short-term plans to reduce crisis moments.

Sonja uses methods grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to break down reactions into manageable steps. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques for trauma-related symptoms, and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals.

She frames therapy as a working partnership: the client’s goals guide the process and progress is reviewed regularly. Sonja explains tools clearly and practices them during sessions so clients can try them between meetings and bring back what worked and what didn’t.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
