About Sonni
Sonni Parks (Williams) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, and issues related to sexual orientation. She emphasizes supporting people dealing with money and financial issues as part of broader life stressors.
Sonni encourages clients to look at the stories they tell about themselves. She uses narrative ideas and bibliotherapy to help people separate their identity from their difficulties. That can make it easier to change unhelpful beliefs and try different choices in daily life.
Her sessions mix practical tools with supportive listening. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and aspects of the Gottman Method. Those approaches can help with mood, relationships, and coping skills.
Sonni has six years of counseling experience and holds an LPC. She practices in South Carolina and conducts work in English. The profile links therapeutic ideas to everyday steps rather than technical labels, so people can see what a session might feel like.
People who want to start usually complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine. Sonni’s approach aims to help clients notice patterns, experiment with new ways of responding, and rewrite the personal stories that keep them stuck.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps toward a life that matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools for intense emotions and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, DBT, or a mix of methods so sessions match real needs.
