Sonia Torres

Sonia Torres is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and concerns around body image, mood, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues. Sonia works in Indiana and offers care in English and Spanish.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sonia listens first to understand a person's background and daily pressures. She helps people name what matters to them and take small, doable steps toward change. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer decision-making rather than jargon or tests.

Sonia uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful patterns and build motivation for new habits. She blends these methods with client-centered principles, so the work reflects each person's values and pace. Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term goals and track progress.

Clients can expect a warm, grounded tone and a focus on realistic steps. Sonia pays attention to cultural and family influences that shape choices and stress responses. She aims to help people find clearer direction, use their strengths, and reduce day-to-day distress.

To begin, visitors choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Sonia does not accept international clients and practices as an LMHC licensed in Indiana.

How Sonia’s approaches translate to online work

Sonia often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what truly matters and take committed steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, which can help with anxiety, stress, and low self-worth.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that lead to unhelpful behaviors and to practice concrete skills for change. CBT is useful for mood shifts, worry, and building new coping habits. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and to build momentum when someone feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Sonia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by reducing travel and letting someone join from a quieter spot or while on a break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make consistent sessions more practical for people juggling work or caregiving.
