About Kennia

Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, addiction, and depression. She offers straightforward support to people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Her approach centers on helping clients understand how emotions shape thoughts and behavior.

With 14 years of experience in California, she draws on practical methods to help people build coping skills. Sessions include looking at relationship patterns, grief, codependency, trauma reactions, and motivation. She emphasizes clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of theory.

Her style blends acceptance-based work with skill-building exercises. Clients learn to notice difficult feelings, name reactions, and try new behaviors that fit their values. The goal is less about fixing everything at once and more about steady change that feels doable.

She also uses client-centered listening to make room for each person’s story. That means spending time understanding what matters to you before suggesting concrete tools. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the reasons to change and staying focused on them.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Kennia helps people tackle practical challenges like parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, and recovery from substance concerns. To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with mood, anxiety, and habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. You and the therapist check in together about what works and adjust the plan as you go.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or video sessions when visual cues are helpful. It can also allow someone to continue care without extra travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work over remote sessions so clients keep practicing skills between meetings.
