Sonia Torres

Sonia Torres is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience helping people feel more steady and clear about their next steps. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Sonia provides a calm, supportive presence and focuses on practical ways to make life more manageable.

Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens for each person’s values and goals, then helps identify small, doable changes. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings to handle tough thoughts and strong emotions.

Sonia draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These approaches are used to understand patterns that keep someone stuck, build motivation, and practice new habits. Treatment plans are guided by what matters most to the person in front of her.

She also attends to issues like aging and geriatric concerns, body image, communication problems, disaster-related stress, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues. Sonia tries to meet people where they are and name the strengths they already bring.

Sonia sees clients in Indiana and offers help in English and Spanish. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Sonia’s approaches translate to online work

Sonia uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process the effects of traumatic events and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. That work often includes talking through distressing memories and learning ways to tolerate strong emotions without feeling overwhelmed.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which centers on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s perspective guides the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sonia collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The decision is made together, based on what feels most useful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid needing to be on camera when that helps someone participate. Ask about available session options when scheduling to learn what will work best for everyday routines.
