Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sontra uses client-centered therapy to place each person’s experiences and goals at the center of the work; this approach emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel understood and empowered to make their own choices. Motivational interviewing is another key tool she employs - it helps people explore and strengthen their own reasons for change, especially when motivation feels mixed or uncertain. Solution-focused therapy complements these methods by prioritizing small, practical steps and identifying existing strengths that can lead to meaningful progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sontra works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, combining techniques to support short-term problem solving and longer-term growth.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, on the go, or during transitions, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into their daily lives.
