About Sonjit
Sonjit Mukherjee is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with extensive experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. He draws on many years of practice to offer steady, practical support for everyday struggles. His approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making therapy feel approachable for a busy parent.
He focuses on creating an open space where clients can talk through feelings without judgment. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and skills people can use between appointments.
Background and approach
Sonjit encourages small, manageable steps toward change rather than dramatic overhauls. Over nearly three decades of work, he has supported people with depression, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and sleep or eating concerns. He also helps with parenting challenges, career stress, and coping with major life changes.
His broader interests include attachment issues, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue. Sonjit uses a mix of well-known therapeutic methods tailored to each person. He blends acceptance-oriented work, problem-focused techniques, and emotion-focused conversation to match what someone needs in the moment.
The result is practical therapy that stays focused on daily life and real problems. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. People who choose to meet with him can expect clear direction, steady listening, and tools to manage difficult moments between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sonjit commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sonjit will work with clients to identify goals and preferences, then adapt methods to what fits best. He checks in regularly to see what helps and what needs adjusting so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy lets people fit care into busy lives through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain steady work on parenting concerns and daily stressors without long commute time.
