Sonia Shamoon

Sonia Shamoon, LMSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, and grief. She uses a compassionate, culturally aware approach to support people through hard moments. Her work often includes concerns like panic, attachment difficulties, identity struggles, and reactions to narcissistic relationships.

She brings 22 years of experience to sessions and listens for the specific ways past hurts show up now. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small changes that can improve daily life. Sonia pays attention to cultural background and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on mental health.

Sonia often supports people dealing with postpartum depression, body image worries, and questions about life purpose. She also helps those managing caregiver stress, divorce or separation, and recovery from domestic violence or abandonment.

In sessions she aims to make people feel seen and understood. She works at the client’s pace and uses practical strategies grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Treatment plans are shaped around goals the client defines, whether that means reducing panic, improving relationships, or building self-compassion.

Her style is direct but warm, balancing emotional support with concrete tools. People can expect a focused, steady process that honors their background and personal values.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Sonia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real problems and practical change. One common approach helps people learn to manage panic and anxiety with step-by-step breathing and grounding strategies, and by practicing exposure to feared situations in small, manageable steps. Another approach emphasizes attachment work and healing from abandonment by identifying patterns in relationships and trying new ways of connecting that feel safer and more honest.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sonia works together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the particular challenges they bring. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most and what feels workable in daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow follow-up check-ins without extra travel, and support steady progress between appointments. Some people find shorter or more frequent sessions helpful for managing symptoms, while others prefer traditional weekly meetings; Sonia will help figure out what schedule best supports progress.
