About Sovichan
Dr. Sovichan Scaria is an LPC, LMFT practicing in Louisiana with five years of licenced experience. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among his core areas. Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam, and he accepts international clients.
Dr. Scaria writes simply about working respectfully with people and starting from where they are. He focuses on strengths and resilience and helps people sort through current problems. He aims to be a steady presence while clients talk through what feels difficult right now.
His clinical work includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy. He describes a solution-focused, team-based approach that looks for resources and exceptions to problems. That means sessions often include concrete steps, experimenting with different responses, and checking what works.
Before licensure he worked for many years as a pastoral counselor and completed a doctorate in marriage and family therapy in 2019. He began practicing as a licensed marriage and family therapist in 2020 and holds LPC and LMFT credentials for Louisiana and Texas as listed.
People come to him for a wide range of issues such as grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, mood difficulties, ADHD, and work-related stress. He also notes additional focus areas including multicultural concerns, first responder and veteran issues, and relationship problems like infidelity and communication difficulties.
To begin, Dr. Scaria asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his CBT and ACT work in online sessions
Dr. Scaria lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among his approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep difficulties. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, and taking actions that align with what matters despite difficult feelings.He also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas that prioritize clear listening and helping people name and process strong emotions. These approaches can help with relationship problems, grief, intimacy concerns, and communication difficulties by making feelings and patterns easier to see and work with.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Scaria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT tasks with ACT values work or using a more exploratory, emotion-focused session for relationship concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a week, allow shorter focused sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing practicalities upfront helps match session length and frequency to daily life and goals.
