Sonia Torres , LMHC

Sonia Torres creates a therapeutic space for people who want to show up more fully in their lives but are unsure where to begin. She often meets individuals who feel misunderstood, disconnected, or exhausted by expectations, and who are uncertain about their direction. Many have intersecting cultural, familial, and lived experiences that influence how they move through the world, and Sonia centers that context in the work.

Sonia draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns that keep them feeling stuck, build motivation for meaningful change, and learn practical skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Together with each person she identifies what matters most and takes steady steps toward improvement.

Clients can expect a warm, grounded approach that honors lived experience while also highlighting the quiet resilience they carry. Sonia, an LMHC which means Licensed Mental Health Counselor, focuses on creating clarity, reinforcing strengths, and supporting progress for those navigating difficult seasons or choosing to make a change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Sonia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is applied to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change reactions and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel ambivalent about change by strengthening their own reasons and readiness for moving forward.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Sonia works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so that therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow continuity of care during life transitions, and provide multiple ways for people to connect with a licensed professional in the manner that works best for them.
