About Sontra
Sontra Carmouche uses a client-centered approach to guide people through real-life problems. She emphasizes the person in front of her and works from clients' own goals and strengths. Sontra holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and practices in Louisiana.
She has five years of experience as an LCSW. Sontra helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and career concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
How Sontra works
Addiction concerns, sleeping or eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue are within her focus areas. Her work often combines client-centered methods with motivational interviewing. That means she listens closely and helps people find their own reasons to change.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, practical steps that move people toward their goals. Sontra also addresses aging and geriatric questions, codependency, and process addictions such as porn, exercise, or gambling. She provides support for people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns and for those affected by natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions are offered in English. People can connect by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. The intake begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling is arranged after that.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps people identify strengths and choices that fit their life. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change. It uses gentle questions to build motivation for tackling issues like addictions, career moves, or health habits. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps. Sessions identify one or two achievable goals and build on what already works.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn't helping, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get care around work, errands, or family obligations.
