About Soni

Soni Dani-Cox is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people untangle the issues that cause ongoing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Her approach aims to help clients find clearer understanding and practical ways to cope day to day.

She begins by listening closely to each person's story. Then she works with them to identify patterns that keep problems repeating.

Background and approach

Soni blends conversation with concrete skills so clients can try new ways of responding between sessions. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method principles, and mindfulness. She adapts session content to fit the problem at hand, whether that is grief, trauma, addiction, sleep disruption, or career stress.

The tone in sessions is warm and interactive rather than clinical and distant. Soni emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and avoiding stigmatizing labels. She helps people address issues like ADHD symptoms, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem without reducing them to a single diagnosis.

Her style is collaborative and practical. If someone is ready to change, she offers guidance and encouragement while supporting them to build lasting practices. Sessions aim to be straightforward and usable in everyday life.

Soni invites people to take the first step toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Gottman Method ideas focus on improving communication and building stronger interaction patterns. Online sessions using these ideas can work on practical skills like turn-taking in conversations, identifying underlying needs, and reducing criticism and defensiveness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. In virtual sessions this usually means setting small practice tasks, tracking moods or thoughts between meetings, and reviewing what worked and what did not.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. A therapist can coach these skills over video or phone and suggest short exercises to use during a stressful moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the issue and the person's day-to-day routine. Clients and therapist revisit the plan so it stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice communication; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, skill coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
