About Yesenia
Yesenia Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses communication problems, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, and building self-love.
Yesenia uses straightforward, conversational sessions where clients talk through immediate problems and practical coping steps. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's concerns, and on cognitive behavioral strategies to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are used to manage intense feelings and improve emotional regulation.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete tools that can be practiced between meetings. That might include tracking triggers for anger, testing out new communication approaches, and short mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what people really want to change and builds small doable steps toward it.
She aims for an open, respectful approach and works in collaboration with the person in front of her. Goals and pace are agreed together so the work fits into everyday life. Yesenia asks clients to be active in practicing skills between sessions to get traction on stress and anger patterns.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Yesenia often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people understand what they want and then change the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Client-centered work means conversations are guided by the person's concerns and priorities. CBT offers step-by-step techniques for reducing anxiety and anger, and for testing out new ways of reacting.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness exercises to manage strong emotions. DBT-style skills focus on distress tolerance and emotion regulation while mindfulness helps reduce reactivity by bringing attention to the present moment. These methods are useful for someone who needs immediate tools to handle surges of anger or anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which exercises and strategies to practice between sessions so the work fits into daily life.
