Soni Fitzhugh

Soni Fitzhugh is a licensed counselor who helps people handling stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She greets new clients with a calm, respectful style and encourages practical steps toward feeling steadier. Her first aim is to make it easier to begin talking and working through what feels overwhelming right now.

Soni practices from a client-centered perspective. That means she focuses on each person's strengths and listens closely before suggesting next steps. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on what already works.

Her work includes support around divorce and separation, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses workplace stress, concerns common to young adults, and issues many women face. Sessions focus on everyday coping, clearer decisions, and small changes that add up.

Soni holds an LPC in Georgia and an LCPC in Maryland and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and respectful, noting that taking the first step often takes real courage.

People who choose her can expect a listening-first approach. Conversations move at a pace that fits each person's goals. She helps people notice strengths, try practical strategies, and track progress toward clearer choices.

How client-centered work fits with online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people use their own strengths. In practice this looks like a therapist who asks questions, mirrors what you say, and supports the choices you want to try. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and decision points like separation.

That approach puts you in charge of goals and pacing. The therapist will collaborate with you to find what feels useful. Together you can test small changes, note what helps, and shift direction when something does not fit.

Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life. They can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If you need options for camera-off conversations or shorter meetings to fit a work break, ask about the session types the therapist currently offers. Confirm the exact formats available before you book so you know what to expect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods and session rhythms match your goals and everyday routine.
