About Yesenia

Yesenia Torres is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She has four years of experience supporting individuals who feel stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by transitions. Yesenia aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She uses a warm, listening-based style to learn what matters most to each person. Conversations focus on practical steps and small changes that fit everyday life. Yesenia draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are woven into sessions to help people manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who want to find or restore motivation and direction. Client-centered therapy shapes the relationship so clients guide the pace and focus of care.

Yesenia works with people on communication problems, finding life purpose, panic attacks, and healing after trauma. She emphasizes skills that can be practiced between sessions and plans that feel realistic for a busy life. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set goals and adjusts methods as needed.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Yesenia uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Yesenia combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand what matters to them and then change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead so goals come from the person themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets specific thinking patterns and actions, which can help with depression, anxiety, and panic symptoms.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style techniques are useful for managing intense feelings and reducing reactive responses when stress or anger spikes. Together these methods give both understanding and practical tools to use day to day.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Yesenia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time and checks in to see what is and isn’t helpful.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to attend regularly, fit sessions into a busy schedule, or choose shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people practice skills in real-life routines and bring immediate issues into the conversation for timely problem solving.
