Sonya Belletti

Sonya Belletti is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience helping people navigate life’s hard moments. She practices in Florida and draws on a long history of work in private practice, community settings, and schools. Sonya focuses on concerns such as relationships, parenting, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. She approaches care with respect and empathy to help people feel heard and understood.

Sonya earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Syracuse University with a minor in Child and Family Studies. She completed a Master of Social Work at San Jose State University with a clinical emphasis on child and family issues. Her background includes supporting people through perinatal loss, postpartum concerns, and trauma-related problems.

Her style is collaborative and person-focused. Sessions center on the client’s priorities and move at a practical pace. Sonya uses elements of attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral strategies, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness in ways that fit each person’s goals.

Clients can expect a mix of listening, skill practice, and real-world steps between sessions. Sonya often helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and manage intense emotions like anger. She also supports parents dealing with blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin concerns.

She aims to empower people to find their voice and make changes that matter. The work typically focuses on clear goals such as reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or coping with major life changes. Sonya invites prospective clients to consider whether her practical, steady approach fits their needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sonya blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools to address relationship strain, communication problems, and emotional regulation. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of relating and helps people shift how they connect and respond in relationships. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace, so sessions build from what matters most to the client. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at thoughts and behavior patterns and introduce practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the process. Sonya collaborates with clients to decide which approaches fit best for their goals and day-to-day needs. She tailors strategies together with the person in session, adjusting homework and skills to the client’s situation.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint helps, and reduce travel time so sessions can happen between errands or at a break from work. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent with the steps needed to make progress.
