About Yesenia
Yesenia Torres is a licensed clinical social worker in California with four years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, designed for people who want practical ways to feel better.
She works in short, focused conversations that aim to make daily life more manageable. Sessions often include skill-building for coping, communication strategies, and ways to handle strong emotions like anger and panic.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes practical tools with a warm, nonjudgmental tone. Yesenia uses a range of methods to fit the person in front of her. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and client-centered listening to make space for personal goals.
She adapts these methods to the concerns the person brings. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help with emotional regulation and motivational interviewing to boost movement toward goals. These methods are used together to help people take small, steady steps forward.
People who reach out can expect clear goals, simple homework when useful, and check-ins about progress. The focus is on practical changes that reduce daily distress and improve confidence. Yesenia aims to create a steady, respectful process so people can feel more in control of their reactions and choices.

Approaches that guide online work and coping skills
Yesenia often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps clarify goals and lets people set the pace for change. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another tool she integrates to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or reactions escalate quickly. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust as progress is made. Online sessions offer flexibility across several formats. Video calls let people meet face to face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, on-the-go options for brief support and between-session contact. These choices make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.Questions people ask about Yesenia
