Soni Fitzhugh, LCPC, LPC — Therapist in Maryland

Hi there, I'm Soni!

I work with adults and adolescents, helping people lead healthy and productive lives. My focus is on supporting those navigating anxiety, depression, and women's issues.

My focus

I work with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, and women's issues. I teach coping skills and offer EFT as a self-help tool for those seeking alternatives to traditional treatments.

My approach

My approach is person-centered, meaning sessions are open and non-directive. You do most of the talking while experiencing unconditional positive regard, nonjudgment, empathetic understanding, and genuineness. I also specialize in EFT (tapping), a holistic technique that addresses emotional stress contributing to distress.

My communication style

I believe in empowering clients as equal partners in the healing process. Sessions are supportive and flexible, allowing you the freedom to discuss your issues openly. I focus on education to help you identify patterns and barriers to wellness.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love creating a climate where growth, connection, and potential can blossom. I believe the most empowering intervention is education, helping clients identify their own patterns rather than giving advice. My mission is to give you the opportunity to figure things out for yourself.

My goals for you

My work suits clients who are motivated and prefer flexibility in exploring their issues. The person-centered approach benefits those seeking self-esteem, authenticity, better relationships, and confidence in their decisions. I use elements of different approaches tailored to your unique needs.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently. I'll ask questions to better understand what may be contributing to those feelings.
