About Sonni
South Carolina Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years' experience focusing on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and mood disorders. Sonni Parks (Williams) describes her work as helping people own their narrative and find their voice. She uses narrative techniques and bibliotherapy alongside well-known clinical approaches to help people change the stories they tell about themselves.
Sonni helps people notice unhelpful messages they learned earlier in life. She then guides them through practical steps to rewrite those messages. Sessions include talking through patterns, identifying values, and trying small behavior changes. She names everyday examples and keeps language plain so decisions feel clear.
Her background includes six years in counseling practice and use of several approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Sonni blends these with narrative work and bibliotherapy to match each person's situation. That mix supports grief, relationship friction, mood struggles, and life transitions.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple tools. That might look like learning mindfulness skills, testing a different way to talk with a partner, or writing new personal narratives. She also works on practical problems such as money stress, blended family dynamics, and communication challenges.
Sonni offers sessions in English from South Carolina. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps aligned with those values. It often involves short exercises, values clarification, and practicing new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more useful ways of thinking and acting. It usually includes homework and practical skills to change patterns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and uses reflective listening to help people make their own choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonni will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - shorter check-ins between commitments, avoiding travel time, and holding a session from wherever you are when schedules allow. Discuss practical scheduling and any format questions during the matching and intake steps so sessions are set up to match everyday life.
