About Sonya
Sonya Poole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on 17 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She speaks plainly and provides steady, practical support for everyday struggles. Sonya focuses on helping people build self-confidence and cope with life changes.
Her approach centers on listening first and then working together to set clear, achievable goals. She encourages clients to talk about their thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, with tools people can try between meetings. Sonya uses a mix of recognized therapies to match each person's needs. She teaches skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and reduce reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice their values and take action toward them, even when emotions are hard. Solution-focused strategies keep work practical and focused on immediate steps that make life feel easier.
People who come for help with anger often learn ways to recognize triggers, respond differently in the moment, and repair relationships afterward. Those facing panic, social anxiety, or obsessive thoughts get clear strategies to reduce symptoms and regain control. Sonya practices in Louisiana and conducts sessions in English.
She supports women’s issues and postpartum depression among other concerns, always aiming to empower clients as they move toward healthier routines and clearer goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Online ACT sessions focus on simple exercises and short practices that can be used day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change patterns; this works well through video or phone with homework between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and calm; guided practices and brief mindfulness exercises can be delivered effectively in live chat, text, or on video to help reduce reactivity and support better coping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then suggest ways to try different techniques and adjust over time. Clients are involved in choosing methods and setting the pace so therapy fits their life.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls allow face-to-face work and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share brief updates, try short exercises between sessions, and keep momentum when life is hectic.
