    About Sonia

    Sonia Torres is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience supporting people who feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure about their next steps. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Sonia speaks both English and Spanish and practices in Indiana.

    Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the patterns that hold them back. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on building small, steady steps toward change.

    Sonia pays attention to cultural and family background and how those experiences shape daily life. She aims to create a warm, grounded space where clients can feel seen while also developing tools for handling difficult thoughts and emotions. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.

    In therapy she helps people clarify personal values, strengthen motivation, and practice skills for managing mood and stress. She also supports those dealing with body image concerns, communication problems, grief after disasters, and substance use issues. Her style blends practical skill-building with a focus on meaning and resilience.

    People who want clear goals and real-life strategies may find her approach useful. Sonia encourages taking small, achievable steps and tracking progress over time. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

  2. How Sonia’s approaches translate to online work

    Sonia commonly draws on Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons for change and build motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward what matters, even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and manage mood.

    Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sonia will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they choose strategies that match each person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer talking without video while others choose video for face-to-face connection; Sonia will help find what fits your life and your goals.
