About Sonja
Sonja Orozco is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, and issues around self-esteem. She also addresses grief, trauma and changes that come with major life transitions.
Sonja keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions focus on identifying what feels stuck and testing small changes. She uses talk-based work to help people build clearer boundaries, manage strong emotions, and improve communication with others.
Her approach draws on methods that look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She uses attachment-informed thinking to understand how past relationships influence current patterns. She also brings in cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.
People often come to Sonja when they are overwhelmed by work or school pressures, feeling lost after a breakup or big life change, or trying to repair family relationships. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care histories, abandonment concerns, and body image or caregiver stress.
Sessions are aimed at helping people take practical steps they can use outside of therapy. Sonja encourages small experiments between meetings, clearer communication strategies, and specific emotion-regulation tools. She asks questions that help uncover patterns in relationships and daily life so clients can try new ways of handling old problems.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sonja uses attachment-informed work to look at how early and close relationships shape current feelings and behavior. This can help when trust, abandonment, or repeated relationship patterns are getting in the way of day-to-day life. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical experiments to change those habits, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and rumination.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonja will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques from different approaches to address relationship patterns, emotion regulation, and thinking styles that matter most to you.
The therapist's original profile did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving duties and may allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also reduce travel time and let people use written or video check-ins between meetings to practice skills and track progress.
