Jennifer Torres, LMHC, LCMHC

Jennifer Torres is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience. She greets each person without judgment and focuses on practical steps to help them feel more steady. Her approach centers on meeting people where they are and tailoring therapy to their goals and concerns.

She uses client-centered work to listen first and build a dependable therapeutic relationship. That relationship helps when addressing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and midlife transitions. Jennifer also applies attachment-based thinking to understand patterns in relationships and intimacy-related struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to teach skills for managing emotions, reducing unhelpful thinking, and improving coping. Sessions often include straightforward strategies that can be practiced between meetings. Existential ideas are woven in when questions about meaning, purpose, or major life changes arise.

Jennifer has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings and has experience with substance use treatment, program development, and clinical supervision. That background informs a practical, problem-solving style while keeping the focus on each person’s lived experience and immediate needs.

People who come to her for help will be invited to describe their concerns and goals. From there she tailors plans that include clear steps, skills to try, and regular check-ins about what’s working. The aim is steady progress you can notice in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jennifer uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting relationship by listening carefully and following the client’s lead. This approach helps people who need a steady, understanding space to talk about stress, relationship issues, or life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT offers clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, and midlife transitions through homework and skill practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes regular skill practice and follow-up simpler, since notes and exercises can be reviewed between meetings.
