About Sovichan

Dr. Sovichan Scaria is an LPC and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana with five years of licensed experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting, anger, and other issues. Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam, and he accepts international clients.

He uses practical, person-focused work in sessions. He listens for what feels hard and then helps people sort through it. He pays attention to strengths, resilience, and the small exceptions to problems that point toward change. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in respect and understanding.

Dr. Scaria draws on multiple approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. That mix lets him shift between skills practice, exploring emotions, and clarifying values as a situation needs it. He describes the process as collaborative, working alongside the person to identify useful next steps.

Before his current practice he worked for many years in pastoral counseling and completed a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2019. He began practicing as a licensed LMFT in 2020 and holds LPC credentialing in Louisiana. This background contributes to a focus on practical problem solving and relationship patterns.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for ongoing frustration, stress, and life transitions where values-guided action matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different responses. It can help with anger that shows up at work or in relationships by teaching concrete skills and behavioral experiments.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns of emotion and connection in relationships. It helps people understand what emotions drive reactive behavior and how to shift interaction patterns toward more constructive responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adapts methods collaboratively rather than prescribing a single path.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid commuting. Licensed professionals can use these practical advantages to help people experiment with skills, review what worked between sessions, and keep momentum while balancing everyday life.
