About Sonja
Sonja Peverieri is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. Sonja writes plainly and works to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents and adults alike.
Her sessions often draw on Cognitive Behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavioral strategies to build coping skills.
Background and approach
She also offers support that incorporates Christian faith when that is important to a client, including use of Scripture and prayer as part of conversations. Sonja aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in every interaction. Parents may find her background with the Triple P Positive Parenting program useful for concrete strategies around child behavior and development.
She helps people identify patterns that make relationships harder and looks for practical ways to shift those patterns over time. Sonja adapts her work to a person's culture and life circumstances. She listens for what matters most and shapes the plan around those priorities.
Clients can expect clear steps, skill practice, and a steady focus on what they want to change. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment according to the site's process.
Online approaches and how they fit your life
Sonja commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral methods that help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical way to reduce anxiety and manage mood problems. She also uses Dialectical Behavioral ideas that teach coping skills for intense emotions and improve stress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to figure out what fits their goals, daily life, and cultural background, and will adjust methods over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or scheduling-friendly conversations that fit around work and family obligations. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice skills between sessions.
