About Sonni

Sonni Parks (Williams) helps people whose lives feel unsettled by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, grief, trauma, or big life changes. She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, coping after loss, navigating sexual orientation questions, and managing mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Her work also addresses issues like postpartum depression, self-harm, and recovery from abuse.

She uses a conversational, person-first style in sessions. Clients can expect to talk through the stories they tell about themselves and try small, practical changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on narrative ideas and reading-based exercises to help people see patterns and try new actions. Sonni blends several therapies to meet plain, real needs. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action.

She also integrates the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the work. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and has six years of clinical experience working with people in South Carolina. Sessions are offered in English and can address a wide range of personal and interpersonal concerns.

In the first meetings she helps people map the problem story and set simple goals. From there she supports practical steps, reading or homework when useful, and regular check-ins to see what is changing.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sonni commonly combines the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. The Gottman Method looks at interaction patterns and teaches concrete skills for communication and conflict management, which can help when relationship habits cause repeated stress. ACT focuses on values and committed action while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can explore their own solutions.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, personality, and day-to-day needs. That might mean trying one approach for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you practice communication skills in real time, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick notes or ongoing reflection between meetings. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on clear, practical goals.
