About Sonya
Her practice is grounded in a client-centered philosophy, and she incorporates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing to shape conversations and treatment plans. She prioritizes tailoring dialogue and interventions to the specific goals and needs of each client, blending structure and empathy to promote meaningful change.
Dr. McCurdy welcomes referrals and is open to helping anyone who needs mental health counseling; when a different provider would better serve a client’s needs, she offers referrals to other therapists. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in all therapeutic work and encourages those ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life to reach out. Additional information about her approach can be found on her Psychology Today profile and her personal website at https://restorationfaithbasedcounseling.org/.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Treatment
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by helping clients focus on what matters most rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work - this approach supports growth in self-esteem, relationship concerns, and decision-making by creating a safe space for exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, offering practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and related concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Dr. McCurdy works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. Clients and therapist make decisions together about the best path forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter contacts can take place through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility constraints and can help clients maintain momentum between sessions while accessing licensed professionals from their own communities.
