About
About Jennifer
Jennifer Torres is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of experience based in Florida. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, addictions, depression, parenting challenges, and anger.
Her work focuses on practical, steady support. She uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to listen first and build trust. Sessions involve talking through problems, identifying patterns, and developing manageable steps to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Jennifer draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for tolerating intense feelings and regulating emotions in the moment. These methods are presented in clear, actionable ways rather than abstract theory.
She has experience across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings, and has provided mental health and substance abuse treatment. That background informs a practical approach to crises, relapse prevention, and ongoing stressors. She also has experience in program development and quality improvement.
In sessions she asks clients to share what they feel ready to share so she can match interventions to each person's needs. The goal is to reduce anger-driven conflict, ease persistent worry, and help clients get back to daily life with clearer tools and steadier reactions.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Jennifer commonly uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches in her work. Attachment-based methods focus on relationship patterns and how past connections shape reactions today, which can help with trust, intimacy-related issues, and how anger shows up with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts that fuel strong emotions and teaches concrete ways to test and change those thoughts to reduce reactivity.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are useful when feelings escalate quickly and someone needs short-term tools to calm down, communicate clearly, and avoid impulsive responses. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; she will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so skills practice continues between meetings.
