Sonia Torres

Sonia Torres is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Sonia also addresses concerns such as mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, body image, and questions about life purpose. She offers services in both English and Spanish.

Sonia sees how culture, family history, and lived experience shape the way people respond to challenges. In sessions she talks through the patterns that keep someone stuck and helps identify what matters to them now. She focuses on building everyday skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions rather than relying only on insight.

Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Those methods are used to clarify values, increase motivation for change, and practice concrete strategies for mood and behavior. Conversations tend to be practical and goal-oriented while still attending to personal context.

Sonia often helps people break big problems into small, manageable steps. She works with clients to set short-term goals and track progress between meetings. This approach is useful for people wrestling with career doubts, recovery from substance use, or the uncertainty that follows a major life shift.

Clients can expect straightforward, language-focused sessions that include check-ins, skill practice, and planning. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Sonia's approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions in that direction. It helps with worries about purpose, motivation, and navigating life changes by linking values to concrete steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Motivational Interviewing centers on building internal motivation for change and is often used alongside other methods to support progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sonia works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they test what works, adjust strategies, and set measurable short-term goals so progress can be seen between sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Online sessions also make it simpler to check in more frequently for short progress reviews or to focus on skill practice without a long break in routine.
