About Leticia

Leticia Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people who need a steady, practical presence while they sort through hard moments. Leticia emphasizes a respectful, collaborative tone and believes clients know their own stories best.

She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to help people identify strengths and next steps. Sessions often center on practical coping tools, pacing through strong emotions, and improving day-to-day routines that support mood and resilience. Leticia listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different responses in small, manageable steps.

Leticia values cultural understanding and pays attention to how background and identity shape a person’s experience. She addresses feelings like shame, guilt, and isolation alongside practical concerns such as communication problems or relationship strain. Grief and trauma are approached with patience and respect for individual timing.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She encourages people to notice small changes and to build on what already works. The aim is to help people move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful, at a pace that fits their needs.

To begin, Leticia asks people to name what matters most to them and what they want to be different. From there she and the person set goals and try strategies that match those priorities.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Leticia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks larger issues into small, manageable steps and helps with stress, depression, and life adjustments. Another useful method involves emotion-focused work that helps people name and pace difficult feelings after trauma or loss, so strong emotions become easier to tolerate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to share preferences and to evaluate progress as they go.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins. It also offers flexibility in how people engage - for example choosing shorter check-ins when days are hectic or using audio-only when video is not ideal. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and pacing to everyday life needs.
