Sonni Parks (Williams), LPC

Sonni Parks (Williams) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, low self-esteem, LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and life transitions. Her work also addresses blended family problems, codependency, communication difficulties, and other relational stresses at home.

She focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. She uses narrative techniques and bibliotherapy so clients can step back from the problem and see it as separate from their identity. That makes it easier to test unhelpful beliefs and try different ways of responding.

Her approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In sessions she helps people name patterns, practice new skills, and notice how thoughts and actions shape relationships. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer choices rather than long explanations.

Sonni encourages practical exercises between sessions, such as writing assignments or brief behavior experiments. These tasks are used to try out new stories and habits in everyday life. She frames homework as small steps you can manage around family life.

People who come for help often want to change how they relate at home or stop repeating old messages about themselves. Sonni supports adults who want to rewrite those messages and take more control over their next steps.
