Sonja Peverieri, LMFT

Sonja Peverieri is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. She also supports people facing issues such as attachment and abandonment, workplace strain, and obsessive or panic symptoms.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in sessions. These approaches look at thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. Sonja also integrates elements of Biblical counseling when clients request faith-based support, including Scripture and prayer as part of conversations about values and community.

Parents may find practical tools here. Sonja has additional training in the Triple P Positive Parenting program and uses that to help caregivers manage routines, set boundaries, and respond to developmental needs. Conversations about parenting focus on concrete steps to reduce conflict and improve daily functioning.

In sessions she pays attention to how relationships and communication patterns affect emotions like anger and resentment. She helps people identify barriers in relationships and builds skills to handle tense interactions and recurring stressors. Work on mood and anxiety often includes behavioral experiments and skill practice.

She describes her work as respectful and culturally sensitive. People who prefer some faith-based guidance can bring Scripture and prayer into the work. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options.
