About Sonya
Sonya Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with practical coaching to help people make real change. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and helps clients notice strengths they can use right away. Sonya aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable steps toward goals they care about.
Sonya draws on 25 years of experience in counseling and coaching. She uses client-centered work to make sessions feel respectful and focused on each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy comes into play when breaking down unhelpful thoughts and building new habits. Her approach includes mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to increase clarity and willingness to act. Sonya also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand how emotions shape choices and relationships.
She sometimes integrates tapping techniques when clients are open to that method. Sessions often include a mix of phone or video conversations with supplemental text-based support. Sonya emphasizes small, practical steps - tracking progress, adjusting plans, and using what already works in a client’s life.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals and methods are agreed on together. Clients can expect straightforward guidance aimed at improving stress, anxiety, mood, sleep, eating concerns, parenting challenges, grief, work-related issues, and relationship patterns. Sonya also works with people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and major life transitions.
Her style is curious, honest, and focused on empowering each person to pursue a more authentic life.

Online support
How therapy approaches adapt to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and track feelings that drive their choices. Online sessions let a therapist notice emotional patterns in conversation and help a client practice new ways of responding to intense emotions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and following the client’s goals. In remote sessions that means the therapist reflects back what the client says and helps them set realistic next steps they can try between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. Over video or phone, clients can learn tools for sleep, mood, anxiety, or eating habits and then report progress via text-based messaging or live chat.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a client’s needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is useful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, send homework, or get brief support on the go.
