Jennifer Torres, LMHC, LCMHC

Jennifer Torres is a licensed mental health counselor who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, and she asks clients to share what matters most so sessions can be tailored to their needs.

With 25 years of experience, she has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings. That background shaped a practical style rooted in real-world problem solving and steady support. Sessions often include clear tools for handling mood changes, managing difficult thoughts, and coping with life transitions.

Jennifer blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care to look at how relationships and early patterns affect present concerns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming and finds brief behavioral strategies helpful for immediate relief. Work can include communication skills, boundary setting, and rebuilding trust after loss or conflict.

She helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Parenting struggles, family of origin concerns, and coping after disasters are also areas she addresses. Jennifer is comfortable supporting people with bipolar disorder, anger, and first responder related stress.

Jennifer holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials and practices in Florida. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She encourages a collaborative plan and adapts methods to each person's goals and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and stress. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how they shape emotional responses. That approach helps people who want to improve communication, build safer connections, or understand recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences and adjust as progress is made. Sessions often combine short skills practice, real-world homework, and talk focused on current problems.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let sessions feel face to face. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use techniques in the moments they matter.
