About Soni
Soni Fitzhugh, MD, LCPC, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She focuses on building confidence and boosting motivation so clients can handle everyday pressures. Soni works with adults who want straightforward support for low mood, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
She uses a client-centered approach that starts by listening closely to each person's story. Sessions look at what is already working in a person's life and what they want to change.
Background and approach
Together the client and Soni set small, practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Soni brings five years of professional experience and licensure in Georgia and Maryland. Her background includes time supporting people through depression, career stress, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
She also focuses on women's issues, forgiveness, life purpose, and challenges common in young adulthood. In sessions she keeps language simple and direct so worried parents can follow along if they read about the work later. The goal is to make progress feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
She encourages people to notice strengths and to try tools that fit their daily life. Starting therapy is framed as a brave first step. Soni guides each client at their own pace while helping them discover clearer priorities and calmer ways to cope.
The work is practical, collaborative, and paced to the person's needs.
How client-centered work fits online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person seeking help. The therapist reflects what the client says, helps them name their priorities, and supports choices that feel meaningful. This approach suits stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and situations where a person wants to build confidence and motivation.In practice, the therapist and client figure out which methods fit best together. They discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process means the approach can shift as the client's needs and preferences change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when writing things out helps make thoughts clearer.
Using these options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It also lets people try different ways of connecting until they find what feels most effective and comfortable for them.
