About Yesenia
Yesenia Torres is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of practice. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure after changes in work, relationships, or health. Typical concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.
She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed techniques to help people sort priorities and make manageable changes. Sessions often focus on building skills for panic attacks, managing strong emotions, and improving communication. Yesenia draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered attitude to guide the work.
In a session she listens, helps clarify what matters now, and practices small exercises that can be tried between meetings. That might include noticing thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, practicing grounding or breathing, and rehearsing clear ways to talk about needs. The aim is to make things feel more workable day to day rather than promising a single solution.
Yesenia also supports people exploring life purpose and self-love as part of broader change. She works with post-traumatic stress and panic disorder alongside general coping skills. Her style is practical and responsive, adapting methods as needs and goals evolve.
She practices in California and offers therapy in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options through the site flow and scheduling process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Yesenia often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy tools in session. CBT looks at thinking patterns and links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. DBT focuses on managing intense emotions and building practical skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that help with anger and panic.Mindfulness methods are also used to help people notice stress responses and ground themselves in the moment. These practices are brief and concrete, such as focused breathing or short awareness exercises that can be practiced outside sessions. Finding the right mix is collaborative; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods over time to fit what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy day, keeping check-ins short when needed, and practicing skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone work, reduce requirements like long travel, and make it easier to schedule around work or other responsibilities.
