About Sonya
Sonya Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma and other life changes, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. She offers counseling alongside coaching to help people identify goals and take practical steps forward.
Sonya uses straightforward methods to help clients notice what is already working in their lives. She helps people identify strengths and values, then practices skills to build on those strengths. Sessions may include reflective conversation, goal planning, and strategies to change unhelpful thoughts or behaviors.
Her background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from The Citadel and a master’s in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University. She also holds certifications in health and wellness coaching and mentor coaching. Over 25 years she has combined counseling and coaching elements to support practical change.
Sonya often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to address anxiety, sleep problems, self-esteem, and relationship issues. She may incorporate Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relational patterns are a concern. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused steps are used to keep work concrete and forward-moving.
She prefers some phone or video sessions alongside text support and asks prospective clients to use the site matching steps to schedule a first appointment. The approach is direct, goal-minded, and focused on putting internal strengths to work.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sonya uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s own perspective and values, helping people clarify goals and make decisions that matter to them. This approach supports talk-based work and reflective exercises useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which fits well with short exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice that can be done remotely.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concepts may be used when relationship patterns and emotional responses are central. EFT-style work explores feelings and interaction patterns in clear steps that translate into conversations and role exercises during sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Sonya will help clients and therapists decide which methods match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust methods as momentum builds.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats when you book. The biography mentions phone and video sessions along with text support, but check current options before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support use of digital worksheets or homework between meetings.
