About Sonia
Sonia Shamoon is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with 22 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, and lists social anxiety, panic, and phobias among the issues she sees. Sonia works with individuals who are dealing with heavy emotions and tough life changes.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping strategies. Sessions tend to include talking through recent events, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing skills people can use between meetings. Sonia pays attention to how cultural background and experiences of prejudice can shape emotional responses and relationship patterns.
Clients often bring concerns about attachment, abandonment, and the fallout from narcissistic relationships. Sonia also addresses blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and body image struggles. She helps people who face guilt, shame, control issues, or questions about life purpose.
Her work includes supporting those coping with postpartum depression, grief, and trauma reactions such as panic attacks and posttraumatic stress. Conversations typically combine problem-focused techniques with an awareness of each person’s cultural context and identity.

Approaches used and how online sessions can help
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are noted in Sonia’s profile. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practicing alternative skills; this helps with anxiety, panic, and phobic reactions by giving clear steps to try between sessions. Another approach emphasizes addressing the impact of trauma and building safety and stabilization skills, which can reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist and client will collaborate to see which approaches fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and they will adjust methods as progress is made. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice skills between meetings and to review homework or calming strategies together, while keeping the focus on practical steps that help with social anxiety, panic, relationships, and grief.Areas of expertise
