More about Sonal
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Texas with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lack of motivation, low self esteem, building confidence, career conflict, social difficulties, & depression.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I enjoy using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques but am also always reading up on other therapy styles since different things work for different people. If you have any concerns or questions about your therapy journey I am here and open to talking through things to make sure you get what you need.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy or resuming therapy after a break takes courage; so take a moment to give credit where it's due and be proud of yourself for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
