Sonni Parks (Williams)

Sonni Parks (Williams) is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck around stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, depression, bipolar, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose. Her work also addresses family concerns, LGBT issues, and the practical strains of change.

Sonni uses narrative methods and bibliotherapy to help people examine the stories they live by. She talks with clients about the messages they've internalized and how those scripts shape choices and behavior. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns and practicing different ways of responding in everyday life.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship work is relevant. That means sessions may include value-focused exercises, skill practice for emotion regulation, and steps to test new behaviors outside of therapy.

People working with Sonni can expect straightforward conversation, written resources, and reading assignments when helpful. She often suggests short exercises to try between sessions so change feels practical rather than abstract. The emphasis is on clear, concrete steps to help someone notice what’s keeping them stuck and try different choices.

Sonni practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward them. It often uses short exercises and values-based tasks to test small changes between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and the everyday habits that keep someone feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s perspective and priorities, giving space for choices and pacing that fit the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with clients and decide together which fits best based on needs, goals, and personal style. That collaborative selection can shift as someone learns what helps most in real life.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking using the online therapy options button. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let a therapist share reading materials and written exercises between meetings so homework is simple to review. Ask about format details when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday routines.
