Background and approach
He is a licensed professional counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing from Louisiana. He meets people where they are and works with them to find workable next steps.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and make small behavior changes. He also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused methods to create space for honest conversation and to strengthen emotional understanding.
These approaches are used to address issues like depression, trauma, addiction, and sleep or eating concerns. Dr.
Scaria has five years of documented professional experience as an LPC and LMFT. He also has a longer background providing pastoral counseling, which shaped his emphasis on respect, empathy, and resilience.
In sessions he highlights strengths and looks for exceptions to problems rather than focusing only on deficits. Sessions can include practical exercises, values-based goal setting, and straightforward problem solving.
He helps clients sort out immediate stressors and build habits that support longer-term wellbeing. Therapy conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Dr. Scaria offers sessions in English and Malayalam and accepts international clients.
He works with concerns ranging from parenting and communication problems to first responder and veteran issues, multicultural stressors, and post-traumatic reactions.
Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and for coping with life changes by shifting focus from fighting thoughts to choosing meaningful behavior.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and habits that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with depression, panic, sleep and eating issues, and managing mood symptoms.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building trust so clients can speak openly and find their own solutions. This approach supports people dealing with grief, relationship strains, shame, or cultural stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That process may combine elements from different approaches and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and richer communication, phone can fit a short check-in or days with limited bandwidth, chat supports brief check-ins and real-time writing, and text messaging works for ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people use the format that fits their day-to-day life.
