About Sonia
Sonia Torres is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Sonia also works with concerns related to aging, body image, communication problems, trauma, mood challenges, and life purpose.
Sonia listens for how cultural and family background shape daily choices. She notices patterns that leave people feeling disconnected or exhausted by expectations. In sessions she helps people name the habits that keep them stuck and maps small steps toward clearer priorities.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix is used to build motivation, try out new coping skills, and manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Sonia focuses on practical tools that can be used between sessions.
Conversations are collaborative and direct. Sonia helps people clarify what matters and then tests realistic ways to move toward those aims. Sessions often center on short, achievable actions and on noticing what changes and what stays the same.
She offers therapy in English and Spanish from her Indiana practice. People who are wondering what comes next after a job change, a relationship shift, or a health event may find the focus here aligns with exploring life purpose and next steps.
How Sonia’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to notice thoughts, clarify priorities, and plan actions that fit daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting brief experiments or practice tasks between meetings and reviewing what changed.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure or stuck about making changes. Over a few online meetings this approach helps build readiness and prioritize the next concrete steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy week because it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins, or make scheduling around work and caregiving easier. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to assign practical between-session tasks and to track small changes over time.
