My purpose is to assist you in maintaining a joyful, healthy, and productive lifestyle by introducing and sharing strategies that promote a mindfulness attitude, rational behavior, responsible choices, and fulfilling relationships. I embrace an all-inclusive paradigm, and an eclectic theoretical approach via Client-Centered, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapies. I believe that all persons deserve to be served and treated in a respectful, dignified manner; in a safe and compassionate environment.
I have had the fortune of serving children, adolescents, adults, and older adults over a 29 year span in Georgia. Depression, anxiety, caregiving, anger management, and LGBTQ challenges are some of the areas that I have explored with clients. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Board Certified Coach.
I earned my BS degree in Industrial Engineering Technology from Southern Polytechnic State University, MA degree in Counseling and Human Development from Clark Atlanta University, and Ph.D. degree in Counseling and Psychological Services from Clark Atlanta University. I also earned a MA degree in Biblical Studies from Newburgh Theological Seminary And College Of The Bible.
Your interest and time in reviewing my profile is sincerely appreciated. Be good to yourself, LAUGH, and have a wonderful life journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Since I met Dr. Anderson, I feel that I have someone to listen to me and give me feedback and confidence in my thoughts. I’ve been looking forward to all my sessions with Dr. Anderson.
Dr. Anderson has provided me a judgement-free space to discuss the mental and physical health issues that I have been struggling with. She is kind, supportive, understanding but most of all she listens to what I am saying. She gives me space to discuss what I am feeling and what I have experienced but also gives me the opportunity to think about how I am feeling and what that means.
Sonya is a phenomenal therapist. We've only had a few sessions together so far, but I feel like she really understands me and my needs, and she's very easy to talk to and we have a great time cutting up in our sessions. I am looking forward to continuing my care with her and seeing my growth over time :)
