About Sonya
Sonya Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck, who want clearer relationships, and those looking for structure to reach personal goals. Her work includes support for anger, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and life transitions.
Sonya uses straightforward conversation to identify strengths and practical steps. She asks what is working now and what gets in the way. Sessions often focus on small, doable actions and ways to use existing resources at home or work.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her shift between talking through feelings, testing new behaviors, and practicing calmer ways to respond when stress or anger rises.
She also brings experience as a health and wellness coach and often includes behavior-focused work around sleep, eating, and energy. Sonya has worked with issues such as parenting stresses, blended family problems, communication and control issues, and first responder strain. She can also help with career concerns and questions about commitment or intimacy.
Practical details are part of her style. She commonly uses phone or video sessions alongside written message support. Sonya asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an intake so the plan matches personal goals. Her focus is on clear steps people can try between sessions to make change feel possible.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person use their own strengths to set goals. Online sessions use that same plain conversation to clarify what matters and which small steps feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing patterns of thought and testing new behaviors. In online sessions CBT can include short exercises, homework, and tracking changes between meetings to reduce reactivity and manage anger.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Sonya will talk through goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. The first sessions often aim to pick one or two practical techniques to test rather than promising a single path up front.
The therapist's biography notes she commonly uses phone or video work alongside written message support, though you should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when stress has spiked. They also let people practice new responses in real life and report back quickly so adjustments can be made together.
