About Sonia
LMHC in Indiana with 20 years of experience, Sonia Torres helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, burnout from caregiving, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish. Her work often focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more clear about next steps.
Sonia meets people who feel misunderstood, disconnected, or worn out by expectations. She pays attention to cultural and family backgrounds that shape how someone lives and copes. Sessions center on identifying what matters most to the person and finding small, doable actions that reflect those values.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name a few approaches. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, build motivation for change, and practice skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions.
Sonia also works with concerns related to aging and geriatric issues, 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. She uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals and move toward them.
People can expect straightforward conversation, focused skill-building, and collaborative planning. Sonia and the client decide together which approaches to try and which small changes to test between meetings. This keeps work practical and tied to everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that matches those values. Online sessions use exercises to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practices new skills to change those patterns. In virtual meetings this often means reviewing real-life examples and assigning short practice tasks between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps build a person’s own reasons for change through guided conversation and reflective questions. It is useful when motivation feels stuck or ambivalent.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sonia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adjusting based on what helps in practice.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people add therapy into everyday life and keep progress tied to normal routines.
