Sonia Torres, LMHC

Sonia Torres is a licensed mental health counselor who creates a steady, compassionate space for people seeking clearer direction and more meaningful engagement in their lives. Many of the individuals she works with feel misunderstood, disconnected, or exhausted by expectations that no longer fit, and they often bring cultural and familial influences that shape how they cope and relate. Sonia honors those intersecting experiences while helping clients recognize the quiet resilience they already carry.

She draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice the patterns that keep them stuck, strengthen motivation for change, and practice tangible skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Together with each person she identifies what matters most to them and works toward steady, achievable progress.

Whether someone is navigating a difficult season or feels ready to make a change, Sonia offers a warm, grounded approach that centers lived experience and practical growth. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she aims to build clarity, reinforce strengths, and support sustained movement toward improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

For Sonia Torres, online therapy brings together practical approaches that focus on values, motivation, and skill-building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering structured tools to manage mood, anxiety, and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change, which is often helpful in addressing addictions and lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sonia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy adds flexibility to that work by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility needs and to maintain continuity during busy or changing seasons. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, skill-oriented treatment and ongoing support that fits into everyday life.
