About Sonia
Sonia Rodrigues-Marto is an LPC, LMFT licensed in New Jersey with 21 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and those coping with major life changes. Sonia speaks English and practices from New Jersey.
Sonia treats these concerns by keeping conversations focused and practical. She treats the person across problems such as adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, blended family stress, and communication problems. Sessions often include straightforward strategies to manage worry and to improve day-to-day interactions.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix is used to help name painful emotions, change unhelpful thought patterns, and develop small, manageable behavior changes. Sonia also helps people process issues like guilt, shame, infidelity, domestic violence, and divorce and separation.
Over two decades of work has included supporting people dealing with fatherhood issues, family of origin problems, isolation and loneliness, and midlife questions about purpose. She frames the work around what a person already knows and the strengths they bring. Practical steps and clear conversation are the emphasis.

How Sonia blends EFT, ACT and CBT for online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name the emotions behind recurring patterns. It is often used when strong feelings are hard to describe and when relationships or interaction patterns feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that matter even when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and offers practical ways to test and change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will discuss these methods with each person and choose what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. The plan is collaborative so clients help decide which ideas to try and when to change course.
