About Yesenia

Yesenia Torres is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and big life changes. She works with individuals who feel stuck or overwhelmed and wants to help them regain confidence and purpose. Her style aims to be respectful and straightforward so people can talk honestly about what matters to them.

With four years of clinical experience, Yesenia uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and follow the client's lead. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT-informed tools for managing strong emotions.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings. That might include small behavior changes, mindfulness exercises, or short skills practices to reduce panic and manage stress. She also helps people work on communication problems and clarify life purpose when transitions feel confusing.

Yesenia emphasizes a collaborative process. She and each client set goals together and check progress as they go. Her aim is to help clients build more self-love, steady coping skills, and clearer next steps.

She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. The process is intended to make starting therapy easier and more confident.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach give space for people to describe what feels most important and set goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple tools to change them; it can help with anxiety, panic, and low self-esteem through structured exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often called DBT, includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication; these skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yesenia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the plan over time so sessions match what the person wants to achieve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing skills in day-to-day settings and bringing real-life situations into conversation with the therapist.
