About Sonjit
Sonjit Mukherjee is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-informed approaches to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild connection. He speaks English and works with people in Massachusetts and internationally who want practical support for life challenges.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. He also supports people facing addictions, relationship strain, intimacy questions, and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
People bring career changes, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and questions about identity and kink culture for help. Sonjit keeps sessions direct and compassionate. He aims to create a calm space where someone can say what they are feeling without fear of judgment.
Conversations often include tracking emotions, noticing patterns, and practicing new ways to react to hard moments. Over 28 years he has worked with many issues related to trauma, attachment, and co-occurring problems like chronic illness or caregiving stress. He blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match each person’s needs.
Therapy can include short-term skills for managing anxiety or longer work on grief, identity, and relationships. Sonjit encourages small, doable steps and helps people notice progress between sessions. He aims to support clients as they build clearer goals and steadier coping over time.

Online support
Emotion-focused care and online options
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and personal struggles. It helps people identify core feelings, name unmet needs, and practice new ways to respond when emotions get intense. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, clarify what matters most, and take small actions toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to prioritize emotion-focused work, ACT skills, CBT techniques, or a tailored mix of methods.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Text and chat are helpful for brief updates, skills practice, and people who prefer writing. These options expand flexibility and help people keep momentum between meetings.
