About Sonya

LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in California with five years of experience, Sonya Young helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related concentration and focus challenges. She works with concerns such as body image, social anxiety, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, forgiveness, and building self-love. Sonya speaks English and practices in California. She does not accept international clients.

Sonya approaches therapy as a practical collaboration. She treats each person as the expert of their own story and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals, problem solving, and small steps that feel doable between appointments. Expect straightforward conversation about patterns, habits, and what gets in the way of daily functioning.

Her work addresses mood and attention problems with concrete tools and practice. She helps people improve focus, memory strategies, and structure for daily tasks when ADHD symptoms interfere. For anxiety and depression she uses goal-oriented conversations and skill building to reduce avoidance and improve routine.

Sonya pays attention to how relationships and self-talk affect well-being. She supports people who want to improve communication, repair trust with others, or work through shame and guilt. Sessions include exercises for expressing needs and setting boundaries in everyday life.

When someone schedules a first session they complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an appointment. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. This process helps make the first appointment straightforward and clear.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work is organized

Sonya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One approach focuses on skill building for anxiety and depression, combining short exercises with real-world practice to reduce avoidance and improve daily routines. Another approach targets attention and executive function with strategies to improve concentration, memory, and task organization; these techniques often involve setting small, repeatable habits and external supports.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sonya collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what has or hasn’t worked before and adjusts methods based on progress and feedback.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, which can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a weekly routine. Online sessions often help people keep momentum between appointments, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so therapy can fit around work or family commitments.
