About Yesenia
Yesenia Torres is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. She works with individuals facing panic, post-traumatic stress, and major life changes. Her tone is calm and straightforward, aimed at parents reading quickly on a phone.
She uses clear conversation to identify what’s most pressing. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelming feelings and regain control. She listens first, then helps clients decide small, useful goals to work toward.
How Yesenia works
Her methods include client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to change unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, manage strong emotions, and increase self-compassion. Yesenia has four years of clinical experience as an LCSW.
That background informs how she organizes sessions and tracks progress. She explains options and adapts plans so the work matches a person’s life and schedule. People can expect a supportive, down-to-earth style in sessions.
She aims for clarity and small, measurable steps rather than long academic discussion. The focus stays on what helps clients feel more capable and steady day to day.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy puts your experience first. The therapist listens closely and helps you set goals that matter. This approach helps when you need someone to hear your story and clarify what you want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks, and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional balance. It includes practical tools for handling anger and stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. They will adjust the plan as you progress so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, journaling-style work, or when a short support message fits your schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
