Getting to know Sonja Roinestad
Sonja Roinestad, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor with over eight years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and substance use. With a compassionate and integrative approach, Sonja draws from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and cultivate lasting resilience. She brings a wealth of experience from outpatient community settings—ranging from private group practices and addiction clinics to older adult centers and research programs—offering personalized, culturally attuned care to every client she serves.
Sonja’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance. She enjoys working with adolescents and adults from all walks of life and has a special passion for supporting veterans, neurodiverse individuals, and those navigating chronic illness or trauma. Outside of her clinical work, Sonja contributes to psychological research exploring psychotherapy’s impact on mid- and late-life suicidality. In her free time, she finds joy in baking, practicing Pilates, and doting on her rescue cats—all while modeling the same self-care and balance she encourages in her clients.
Brightside Health is a fully online mental health practice providing life-changing care for anxiety, depression, and related conditions through personalized Psychiatry and Therapy services available in all 50 states. Named the "best online psychiatry service" for 4 years in a row by publications including Forbes, Healthline, Yahoo, VeryWellMind, and Everyday Health.
