About Sonya
Dr. Sonya Boone is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in HI and TX with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and family stress. She also helps with parenting, relationship and career concerns, and problems like ADHD, grief, anger, and coping with life changes.
She holds a Doctorate in Behavioral Health plus multiple master’s degrees. That background informs a focus on integrated care and practical problem solving. She uses evidence-based methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes that fit daily life.
Her style is direct and goal-oriented. Sessions focus on building skills for stress management, improving communication, and changing patterns that get in the way. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and skills training from dialectical behavior work.
Dr. Boone also pays attention to cultural and workplace factors that affect wellbeing. She supports people dealing with first responder stress, chronic illness, blended family issues, and separation or divorce. She aims to help clients find clearer steps forward rather than rely on abstract language.
People who choose her often want practical strategies and clear plans. She will work with the client to set goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions emphasize skills, problem solving, and real-world coping techniques.
BHow sessions work
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people stuck by avoidance or persistent worry to re-engage with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills offer concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful for strong mood swings, anger, or relationship strain.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, test methods, and adjust direction based on what helps in everyday life. That collaborative process means techniques may be combined and adapted as needed.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use breathing or mindfulness exercises between tasks and practice new communication skills in real-world settings.
