Sonia Torres, LMHC

Sonia Torres is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and the strain of life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and related concerns such as mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. Sonia speaks English and Spanish and brings 20 years of professional experience to her work.

Her style is warm and grounded. She meets people where they are and listens for the values and strengths that matter to them. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory. Sonia aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

She uses a mix of approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to clarify goals, increase motivation, and teach tools for daily coping. Sonia often helps clients sort conflicting priorities and find steady, doable changes.

Parents and individuals concerned about aging, body image, communication problems, substance use, guilt or life purpose can find straightforward strategies in her sessions. She pays attention to how cultural and family experiences shape decisions and behavior. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

People who reach out can expect practical exercises, goal-focused conversations, and support identifying what matters most. Sonia combines skill-building with respect for each person's background, aiming to make progress feel realistic and sustainable.

Approaches and online options for flexible care

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions even when strong emotions or memories are present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them build confidence and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia will collaborate with each person to choose or combine techniques that match their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session. That process can include trying a method for a few weeks and adjusting based on what makes progress feel real and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions fit into busy days or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping therapy focused and goal-driven.
