Sonya Kirven, LPC

Sonya Kirven is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Board-Certified Counselor with 9 years of counseling experience and more than 15 years in the helping field supporting a diverse range of young adults, adults, and families involved with child protective services. She works with people navigating concerns such as depression, anxiety, financial and career stressors, and interpersonal relationship challenges, offering steady support through times that feel uncertain or overwhelming.

Her style is integrative and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people notice unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and begin building more effective coping strategies. Alongside CBT, she also incorporates Motivational Interviewing and other brief, goal-oriented methods to help clients clarify what matters most and take realistic steps forward.

Sonya Kirven places strong emphasis on building a therapeutic relationship in a judgment-free space, with the belief that insight and growth are supported by feeling heard and respected. She brings a strength-based, person-centered mindset to the work, offering empathy, compassion, guidance, and collaboration as clients set the pace and direction of therapy. She views progress as a process that may include trial and error, and she stays engaged in finding approaches and strategies that fit each client’s needs and goals.
