About Sonja

Sonja Orozco is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and anger. Sonja focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions to manage mounting frustration and improve daily functioning.

She prefers a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. Conversations look at what is happening now and what patterns from the past may be showing up. Sonja uses a mix of techniques to help clients recognize triggers, try new responses, and test small changes in real life.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on client-centered methods to keep the session focused on the person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to build coping skills and emotion regulation when stress or anger feels overwhelming.

Clients can expect help with practical problems like communication breakdowns, managing resentment, or stress at work. She also supports people processing loss, trauma, or changes in family structure such as divorce, blended family issues, adoption and foster care related concerns.

Sonja describes herself as respectful and sensitive in session. She asks questions, listens, and then helps create a plan clients can try between meetings. If someone wants to address anger that flares at home or work, she can work on clearer boundaries, better communication, and concrete emotion-regulation strategies.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work helps identify patterns from early relationships that affect how people react in close connections today. In online sessions this looks like talking through relationship memories and current conflicts to find repeated themes and options for change. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and goals; a therapist reflects, listens, and follows the client's priorities so each session stays focused on what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anger, anxiety and stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose approaches that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process can adjust as progress is made or new issues appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone practice communication or emotion-regulation skills in closer to real-life settings, then bring those experiences back to session for feedback and refinement.
