About Yesenia
Yesenia Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, and building self-love.
In sessions she keeps conversation straightforward and practical. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. She uses skills-based approaches when helpful, and practices that encourage noticing thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns.
Clients can expect concrete tools to manage anxiety and anger. She draws from cognitive-behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills.
Mindfulness methods are offered to help slow things down and notice what’s happening in the moment. Motivational interviewing strategies are used when people want to increase motivation or make a change but feel stuck.
Throughout work together she emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions. She helps break problems into small, manageable actions. The emphasis is on what can work in everyday life and on building skills that support change over time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and low self-esteem because it breaks problems into specific skills and exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with anger and overwhelming emotions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust what’s not working. That means methods can shift as needs and priorities become clearer.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. The therapist will discuss scheduling and session length options during the intake so practical arrangements match day-to-day routines and goals.
