About Leticia
Leticia Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and the challenges that come with major life changes.
Leticia works in a straightforward, practical way. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions aim to identify immediate coping steps and clearer ways to handle everyday pressures like work, family demands, and health concerns.
In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep problems recurring. She helps people recognize unhelpful communication and avoidance, and practices small changes that reduce panic and social anxiety. For grief and loss she focuses on manageable actions and ways to carry on with daily responsibilities while processing emotion.
Leticia brings attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and how these affect relationships and self-view. She also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and challenges around pregnancy and early parenthood. Her approach is practical and paced to what each person can handle.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Leticia uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Leticia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she applies is brief problem-focused work that identifies immediate coping steps and plans out concrete actions for stress and panic. This helps when anxiety causes short-term disruption to daily life or work obligations.She also uses techniques that address traumatic memories and their impact on everyday functioning by helping clients process distress in small, paced steps. For grief and depression she emphasizes behavioral strategies that restore daily routines and reduce isolation, such as setting small goals and rebuilding social contact.
Choosing a method is collaborative. She will work with each person to test what feels useful and adjust over time based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The focus is on what actually helps in day-to-day life rather than on labels.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, practice communication skills, and review coping plans effectively in distance sessions to match the pace someone needs.
