About Kennia
Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and family of origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She combines several therapeutic methods to help people untangle patterns that keep them stuck and to build practical coping skills.
Torres focuses on how feelings, thoughts, and behaviors interact. She helps people notice repeated family patterns that show up in adult life. Conversations often look at boundaries, codependency, communication, commitment worries, and the impact of early family roles. She uses clear exercises and real-world practice rather than long theory talks.
Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral tools with acceptance-based and person-centered practices. That means working on thoughts and actions, learning to accept painful emotions without becoming controlled by them, and creating a collaborative, respectful dialogue during sessions. Skills can include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and values-based action.
People who see her may work on substance use concerns, trauma-related symptoms, parenting strain, or feeling empty or stuck after a separation. Torres also addresses caregiver stress, abandonment fears, and issues tied to fatherhood and family conflict. She aims to help clients develop practical habits that fit daily life.
Appointments are arranged through the site's matching and scheduling process. Prospective clients fill a short questionnaire and choose a time to begin. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her methods translate to online work
Therapy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and when old family patterns get in the way of daily choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. CBT focuses on changing behaviors and thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or unhealthy coping. Client-Centered Therapy is another element, emphasizing a respectful, nonjudgmental dialogue where the person’s experience guides the session.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods together so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, fit therapy into workday breaks, and do short skills practice without extra travel. They can also let the therapist assign in-the-moment exercises between meetings to reinforce new habits.
