Sonya Fields

Sonya Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people find practical ways to change what isn't working in their lives. She focuses on using clients' strengths to move from feeling stuck to making steady progress. Sonya writes plainly, and she aims to make therapy feel useful and do-able for everyday life.

She invites people to set clear goals and then supports them in taking small, achievable steps. Sessions often include identifying internal strengths and external resources to support those steps. Sonya encourages clients to trust their intuition and try new choices that align with their values.

Her approach draws on positive psychology and evidence-based methods to build well-being. She blends counseling with coaching skills to help with health habits, career decisions, relationship concerns, and emotional challenges like grief, trauma, or anger. Sonya also integrates techniques such as tapping when it may help a client move through intense feelings.

Sonya has 25 years of experience as a counselor and coach and holds graduate degrees in clinical counseling and clinical psychology. She brings curiosity, honesty, and perspective to sessions and focuses on helping each person claim what brings them joy. She sees clients as capable and worthy of meaningful change.

To begin, she asks people to pick a time and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Her practice is based in South Carolina and she offers services in English, including work with people located outside the United States.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the client sets the pace and priorities; online sessions allow this work to continue while keeping the client's goals front and center. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and action-focused, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; CBT adapts well to remote work because homework and skill practice can be assigned between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and name strong emotions and shift patterns that get in the way of connection, and brief online conversations can still support that emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The biography notes she uses phone and video sessions and provides text support, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, allow a quick check-in when needed, and let people choose the format that best matches their day-to-day life and comfort level.
