About George
George Torres is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 24 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and related life challenges. He speaks English and brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions.
He often works with people coping with major life changes, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career decisions, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
How George works
He also offers support for first responder issues and coaching for practical next steps. Conversations aim to be respectful and sensitive to each person's situation. In therapy sessions he adapts the conversation and the plan to fit what each person needs.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match specific goals and symptoms. Sessions focus on concrete strategies and habits that can be practiced between meetings. George emphasizes a collaborative approach.
He listens first, then helps set realistic short- and long-term goals. Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see small gains over time. He offers multiple ways to connect, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
That flexibility lets people choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
George uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive behavioral approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic thinking, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention and breathing skills to manage intense emotions and improve sleep and focus. These practices are useful for stress, anger, and ongoing mood swings. He also offers trauma-focused interventions that aim to reduce the impact of past events by working through memories and reactions in a paced way to improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or shift hours.
