About Sontra
LCSW in Louisiana with 5 years of clinical experience, Sontra Carmouche focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, motivation, addiction, and life changes. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people clarify goals and make practical changes.
Sontra believes people know their own stories and brings methods that strengthen motivation and confidence. Sessions emphasize listening, identifying strengths, and setting small steps toward change. She works with concerns such as depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns from the perspective of individuals coping with conflict and parenting stress. Additional areas include aging and geriatric issues, codependency, coping after natural or human-caused disasters, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and process addictions such as porn, exercise, and gambling.
In a typical session she helps people weigh options and try concrete strategies rather than relying on long explanations. Motivational Interviewing is used to boost readiness for change. Solution-Focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.
People looking for practical, goal-oriented support will find an approach that emphasizes their existing strengths. Before a first session she asks people to describe their main concerns and what they hope to change, so work can start on clear, manageable steps.

Approach and what online sessions involve
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's perspectives and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and reflects back what matters most, helping people clarify values and make choices that fit their life. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own reasons for change. It uses focused questions and reflective listening to move someone from uncertainty to action, useful for addictions, habit change, or motivation issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sontra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That may mean trying different techniques across sessions and tracking what leads to steady progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and helping people schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on motivation, set small measurable goals, and practice new coping steps between meetings.
