    About Yesenia

    Yesenia Torres is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, or major life changes. She also works with concerns such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, communication problems, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

    Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, along with space to talk things through. Motivational Interviewing is one of the approaches she draws on to support change and strengthen motivation.

    Yesenia uses a mix of methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. That combination lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs right now - whether that is emotion regulation skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, or increasing awareness in the moment.

    She brings four years of clinical experience to her practice in California. People can expect a collaborative tone where the therapist and client decide together which approaches to try. The focus is on small, concrete steps that fit into everyday life.

  2. Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to move forward, especially when motivation feels mixed or low. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and understanding; the therapist follows the person's lead and reflects what they hear to help the person feel heard and clear about their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.

    Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and make adjustments as progress is made. The process is practical and collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

    The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it possible to practice skills in the environments where challenges occur. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like motivational interviewing, CBT, and mindfulness to work well in virtual visits, and sessions are planned to match each person's needs and daily life.
