We think Dr. Scaria, suits us very well because of his religious background, as we are strong followers of Christ. It is our first session with him and we already feel comfortable that he will help with our problems. We find that he is very patient as well. We are happy with our decision to choose him.

Greetings! My name is Sovichan E Scaria. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from Louisiana. As you get a chance you can see my profile to learn a little bit more about my background and approach. Please also feel free to ask questions. My therapy style is based on respect, understanding , caring and empathy. I meet people where they are and acknowledge their pain and go from there . I like to focus on the strengths, resilience and possibilities of the clients to overcome their obstacles. I will be a conduit for the clients to sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer them a safe place to be open and honest with unconditional positive regard. I have been meeting clients of all ages and backgrounds for the past 30 years as a pastoral counsellor. From 2012 onwards, I have been meeting clients as an intern of the marriage and family therapy with my supervisors at the University of Louisiana, Monroe. I have received my Doctorate in Marriage and family Therapy in 2019 and I began to practice as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2020. My approach is solution-focused brief therapy where I work with the client as a team and focus on the resources and exceptions to the clients problems.

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.

Dr Scaria is kind, patient, knowledgeable and understanding. I had an excellent experience speaking with him. He prayed for me beautifully and helped me greatly.

I highly recommend Dr Scaria in every aspect as a therapist. He is an exceptional human and very professional, wise and kind Doctor.

Dr. Scaria Is very helpful
In the short time I've been talking with this man, he's opened my eyes to the issues I've been struggling with for so long now to be such a simple fix.
Dr Scaria has been wonderful talking to despite the time differences in Asia and in America. He really gives me a good balance and good vibes! All centered around what’s most important to me.
Although I've only had one session with Dr. Scaria I have found him so himself. In just a few words he was able to help me self reflect on who I am and who I wish to be with his guidance. I have already enacted some of his therapeutic methods into my life and I've found it so helpful and rewarding. I look forward to working with him more.
I feel very comfortable and valuable in sharing my situation of my life with Dr Sacatia. Thanks to Dictor for this.
Doctor Scaria is an amazing person and an amazing therapist, very worm voice and very professional!

I've only had one session with Dr. Scaria so far, but his advice has been encouraging and has helped my begin to work on my perspective.
I love the sessions with Dr. Sovichan Scaria. He is a man of God and his commitment to support me in a meaningful way is second to none. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Scaria has a love to help others. He goes above and beyond
I have only been with Dr. Scaria for a few weeks. But what I can say with certainty, is that I enjoy and look forward to our sessions. With previous therapists, I felt offput and drained after sessions. I leave our video calls feeling optimistic and refreshed. Allows for a much better environment for personal change. -Jon
