Yesenia Torres

Yesenia Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. She supports clients working through life changes and moments when motivation or confidence feel low. The tone in her work is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical help and clearer thinking.

She spends time listening first so she can understand each person's priorities and struggles. Then she and the client set simple goals and choose skills to practice outside sessions. Conversations focus on real problems and small, doable steps rather than long lectures or jargon.

Yesenia draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful thinking and teach concrete coping skills. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are additional ways she helps people reconnect with what they value and stay motivated.

Sessions aim to build emotional awareness, improve communication, and reduce the intensity of reactions like anger or panic. She works at a pace that fits each client's needs and adjusts strategies as progress is made. The focus is on practical change that makes daily life feel more manageable.

Yesenia has four years of clinical experience as an LCSW in California. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist learn what matters most and shape sessions around personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises and between-session practice that translate well to remote meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong feelings and improving how people respond under stress, which can help with anger and panic.

Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative step helps tailor sessions so they are useful from the first few meetings.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands, which can help fit sessions into a busy week. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when they need quick support, while others keep regular weekly sessions for steady progress. Because specific session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current options before booking so you know what will work best for your situation.
