Kennia Torres, LMFT

Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers her work on helping people navigate strong emotions and relationship challenges. She brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Her approach aims to help people find clearer thinking and more useful coping skills when stress, anxiety, grief, or addiction interfere with daily life.

She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice how feelings and thoughts shape behavior. Sessions focus on understanding patterns such as codependency, control issues, or problems that come from family of origin. The goal is to build practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication.

Kennia draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive strategies, and client-centered work. She also incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when useful. These methods are used to support people dealing with trauma, depression, or intimacy-related concerns.

Her work often addresses parenting stress, caregiver burnout, and challenges after separation or loss. She helps people facing addiction, emptiness, dissociation, or issues tied to fatherhood and family roles. Sessions emphasize small, doable changes that add up over time.

People who choose Kennia can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on real-life tools. She encourages steady progress and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether her practical, compassionate approach fits their needs before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what truly matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are intense. It often includes exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, offering practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences and needs guide which strategies are used.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commuting time, and let people check in from a quieter location. It can also allow a mix of focused skill practice and conversational processing that fits into everyday life. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match each person’s routine and goals.
