About Sonya Fields

Sonya Fields helps people who feel something missing in their lives or who want relationships and daily routines that better reflect their values and goals. She works with individuals who feel stuck, those seeking inspiration for meaningful change, and people who already have goals and want structured support to reach them. Sonya guides clients from start to finish in identifying internal strengths and external resources and in applying those resources to move forward in concrete ways. Leaning into personal strengths supports natural, sustainable change and helps clients take action with greater confidence and clarity.

Sonya approaches counseling through a strengths-based, positive psychology lens, helping each person notice what is working, clarify values, and build a more meaningful life. She combines the roles of counselor and coach, using curiosity, honesty, and perspective to support purposeful change while treating each person as capable and worthy of joy and authenticity. Sonya frequently integrates Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly called "Tapping," when it aligns with a client's goals.

Her clinical work draws on a range of therapeutic methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness approaches, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, somatic therapy, and trauma-focused techniques. As a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and a Certified MentorCoach, she also supports clients pursuing health and lifestyle changes alongside psychotherapeutic work.

Sonya holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and has two master's degrees: a master's degree in Clinical Counseling from The Citadel and a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University. She brings 25 years of professional experience as a counselor and coach. She typically offers live sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST and responds to messages throughout the week. Sonya prefers to combine some phone or video sessions with text-based support to meet individual needs.
