01About Sonya
Sonya Poole is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Her approach is calm and steady, aimed at people who want clearer thinking and more control over emotions.
She helps people cope with life changes and rebuild self-esteem after difficult times. Sessions emphasize listening without judgment so clients can speak openly about what they feel and think.
Background and approach
Sonya supports problem solving and emotional regulation rather than offering quick fixes. Her work draws on methods like cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and acceptance-based ideas to change unhelpful patterns. She uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track small wins.
These tools are used in ways that fit each person’s pace and needs. Sonya also addresses communication problems and questions about life purpose. She has experience with obsessive thoughts and compulsions, panic and social anxiety, and postpartum depression.
Women’s issues are included among her focus areas. Her style is collaborative: she listens first and then offers options to try. That can mean new ways to handle panic, steps to lower daily anxiety, or simple routines to improve mood.
The emphasis is on realistic strategies people can use between sessions.

04Online support
How a few approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching them to notice thoughts without getting pulled into them and to act toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression because it breaks problems into manageable exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try strategies together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process - adjustments are made based on what helps most and what feels doable in daily life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while working toward steady progress.
