About Sontra
Sontra Carmouche is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 5 years of experience. She works with common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, career questions, addiction and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods that help people notice what already works for them. In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life and builds on strengths to set realistic goals. Practical skills and short-term strategies are common tools in her work.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise. That variety informs how she tailors conversations and action steps for daily life.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client's perspective. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change and needs help finding internal reasons to act. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, specific changes that add up over time.
Sessions focus on practical coping, clearer decision-making, and small behavior changes that fit into busy schedules. People leave with concrete next steps they can try between meetings. This approach aims to make therapy useful for everyday challenges without lengthy theoretical explanations.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective. It means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships or work.Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change. It uses guided questions and reflections to strengthen commitment. That method is often helpful for addiction, behavior change, and situations where motivation feels mixed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made collaboratively, and adjustments are common as needs shift.
For practical reasons, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. They can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The reader should confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work aims to make therapy more usable alongside work, family, health, and other daily responsibilities.
