Sonia Torres , LMHC

Sonia Torres is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She focuses on practical steps people can use when life feels overwhelming or direction feels unclear. Sonia works with concerns that often affect women's lives and supports people coping with major life changes and mood challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. Sonia listens first, then helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses clear, teachable strategies so people can practice new ways of responding between sessions.

Over two decades of practice in Indiana have shaped her calm and grounded style. Sonia combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral tools and Motivational Interviewing to build motivation and manage difficult thoughts. She helps clients name what matters most and set realistic steps toward those values.

Sonia also addresses trauma-related concerns and substance-related challenges, and she supports people struggling with body image, guilt, and life purpose. Sessions include skill-building, problem-solving, and compassionate reflection aimed at steady progress.

She offers therapy in English and Spanish and adapts sessions to fit each person’s needs. Sonia aims to make decisions collaboratively so clients leave sessions with small, doable steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.

How her approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for mood concerns and managing strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing uses respectful, guided conversations to build motivation for change, especially helpful for addictions and lifestyle shifts.

Sonia treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions when wanting face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow brief updates or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep steady momentum toward personal goals.
