About Kennia
Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses practical talk and clear tools to help people feel steadier in daily life. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems that come from family history.
Background and approach
Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people make small, useful changes that add up over time. With 14 years of experience, she draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person.
She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking with client-centered listening that keeps the client’s priorities central. Kennia also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values when emotions feel overwhelming.
Sessions typically involve clear steps: identifying troubling thoughts or patterns, trying small behavior changes, and building skills for emotion regulation. She works with issues like codependency, communication problems, commitment fears, abandonment worries, and caregiver stress.
She also supports people coping with trauma, dissociation, divorce, and addiction-related challenges. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and provides multiple session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Kennia practices in California and frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. People who choose her can expect practical strategies, steady support, and guidance toward clearer decision making.
She helps clients build coping skills, strengthen emotional awareness, and take steps that fit their daily lives.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them. It emphasizes values-based action so people can make choices that matter even when emotions are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small behavior changes to break negative cycles; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving space for people to name goals and move at their own pace.Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and personal preferences and then suggest methods to try. Sessions can shift over time so the approach matches progress and changing needs, and decisions about methods are made together.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deep conversations and skills practice, phone calls can fit into a tight schedule or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging are useful for short check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy routines while still using evidence-based techniques.
