Sonia Shamoon

Sonia Shamoon is an LMSW who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, trauma and grief. She works with people facing depression and panic, and supports those coping with attachment wounds and body image concerns. Her tone is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at people who need steady support through hard moments.

She focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. In sessions she listens closely, helps name what feels overwhelming, and supports plans for small changes. She pays attention to how culture, identity, and discrimination shape a person’s experiences and choices.

Sonia has 22 years of experience in clinical settings and community work. That background informs how she sees patterns in relationships and coping. She can help people untangle issues such as abandonment, control struggles, and guilt so they can make clearer decisions.

She also works with concerns like postpartum depression, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and recovery from domestic violence. Sonia aims to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and can try new ways of coping.

People who choose to work with her start by describing the problem they want to change. Together they set small goals and track progress over time. Sonia emphasizes practical tools and steady support to help people move toward a life that feels more manageable and purposeful.

Approaches that guide online work

Sonia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage symptoms and rebuild daily routines. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with panic, phobias, and depression. Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns so people can change how they relate to others and themselves, which is useful for abandonment and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sonia collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She starts with what feels most pressing and adjusts methods as progress or new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during breaks from work or caregiving. It also lets people focus on therapy without needing special travel arrangements. Ask about specific session options when you schedule so you know what will work best for your routine.
