About Sonjit
Sonjit Mukherjee is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on somatic-informed care alongside talk therapy. He draws on approaches that connect body sensations with feelings and thoughts to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. He offers straightforward support aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
Sonjit uses practical conversation and attention to the body to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. He listens without judgment and helps clients name what’s happening in their mind and body.
Background and approach
Small steps and simple skills are emphasized over jargon or complex plans. With nearly three decades of experience, Sonjit has worked across many common life challenges. He has supported people struggling with mood concerns, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and work or career transitions.
He also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and adapting to major life changes. His approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and client-centered care. This combination is used to clarify values, build coping skills, and reduce unhelpful patterns.
Sessions are paced around each person’s needs and tolerance for change. Sonjit practices in Massachusetts and provides services in English. He accepts international clients and makes use of a range of online formats.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person with the scheduling process and next steps.
How somatic-informed and action-focused therapies work online
Somatic-informed work combines attention to body sensations with talking. It helps people notice how stress and emotions show up physically and learn small practices to calm the nervous system, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and chronic stress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build meaningful action, useful for depression, life transitions, and coping with chronic conditions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. The therapist follows the person’s pace, reflects what they say, and helps create space to find their own solutions. This approach supports self-understanding and steady progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, comfort, and everyday life. Techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, let people work from their own space, and support ongoing check-ins between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver skills training, guided conversations, and somatic-focused practices in a flexible way.
