Sonya Belletti, LCSW

Sonya Belletti, LCSW, is a Florida-licensed therapist with 26 years of clinical experience. She began studying psychology at Syracuse University and completed a Master of Social Work at San Jose State University with a clinical focus on child and family issues. Sonya has worked in independent practice, community settings, and schools, and brings that breadth of experience to each session.

She helps people with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and blended family challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, fertility and fatherhood issues, and career and life transitions. Jealousy is one of the relationship issues she lists among her focus areas.

Her style centers on listening and tailoring conversations to each person’s needs. Sonya draws from client-centered work and attachment-based ideas to help people see patterns in their relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to build practical skills for daily life.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and usable tools. She incorporates parts of the Gottman Method for relationship communication and motivation-focused interviewing when people feel stuck. The work aims to help people find their voice, reduce distress, and make manageable changes.

Sonya emphasizes respect, cultural awareness, and empathy in her meetings. She describes her role as a guide who walks alongside clients while they build coping strategies and clearer communication. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches that shape online work

Sonya commonly blends attachment-based work with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness, and it can help people who struggle with jealousy, commitment, or fear of abandonment. Client-centered work puts the person’s priorities first, offering space to be heard and to shape goals at a comfortable pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust plans, and build practical tools that fit real life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or from different locations. Some methods, like mindfulness exercises or thought records, adapt well to remote sessions, while communication practice can be done in real time with guidance from the therapist.
