About Sonia
Sonia Rodrigues-Marto is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist in New Jersey with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflicts, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sonia meets people where they are and supports them as they take steps toward greater well-being.
Sonia centers her work on emotions and connections. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships.
Background and approach
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. In sessions, Sonia listens for what matters most to each person. She helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating and then tries different ways to change them.
This often includes practicing new ways of talking, noticing feelings, and testing small behavior changes between sessions. She has worked with concerns like adoption and foster care questions, attachment worries, blended family stress, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and finding life purpose during transitions and midlife shifts.
Sonia describes people as the experts of their own stories and aims to build on existing strengths. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward, focusing on what can be tried now to make daily life feel more manageable.

Online support
Emotion and skills work through online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and change emotional patterns in close relationships by focusing on feelings and interaction cycles. This approach can be useful when communication keeps leading to the same painful outcomes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values. It often helps when worry or avoidance get in the way of meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and introduces practical exercises to test and change those thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may combine EFT, ACT, and CBT techniques to address emotions, thoughts, and behaviors together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video suits in-depth conversations and body language, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options work for quick check-ins or ongoing support. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact between meetings.
