About Sonjit
Sonjit Mukherjee is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly about what they are feeling. His approach emphasizes practical steps that people can use between sessions.
He often helps people facing grief, relationship strain, addictive behaviors, and low self-esteem. He also supports clients dealing with sleep or eating concerns, career transitions, and the stress that comes from caregiving or chronic health issues.
Background and approach
Sonjit works with issues related to attachment, commitment, and intimacy as well. In sessions he listens closely and asks questions that help people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior. He blends goal-focused strategies with a warm, client-centered stance.
This means sessions can include skill practice, emotional reflection, and planning small changes to try at home. Sonjit uses recognizable tools from cognitive and behavioral approaches alongside acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods. He tailors methods to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
Over many years he has worked with a wide range of life stresses and transitions. He offers therapy in English and sees people in Massachusetts as well as international clients online. People interested in working together can expect straightforward conversation about goals, realistic steps to try, and regular check-ins on progress.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take values-based steps forward. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses; it can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in identifying, expressing, and changing emotional patterns that fuel relationship and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit your needs. The process is collaborative so adjustments are made based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and work well for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging give flexible ways to check in between sessions or when a shorter prompt is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to connect from different locations.
