About Leticia
Leticia Torres helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She frames the work around each person’s strengths and choices. Leticia speaks English and Spanish and practices in California as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW.
She approaches sessions as a practical conversation about what feels hard now. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, and then offers ways to break those patterns.
Background and approach
Work can include coping tools for panic or grief, strategies for easing social anxiety, or steps to manage guilt and shame. Leticia views the client as the expert on their life. She helps people name their priorities and test small changes.
Progress often comes from clear goals, repeated practice, and checking what does and does not work for each person. Over 12 years of practice, she has supported people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, and the aftereffects of abuse. She also focuses on multicultural concerns and the stressors that come from identity and cultural context.
Sessions can address relationship patterns, communication problems, avoidant personality struggles, feelings of isolation, and difficulties tied to pregnancy, new parenthood, or young adulthood. Leticia helps clients explore forgiveness, self-love, and rebuilding confidence after loss.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Leticia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and problem solving. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps to reduce immediate symptoms. This helps when panic attacks or social anxiety make daily tasks harder.She also draws on trauma-informed ways of working that help people make sense of painful events and reduce their impact on day-to-day life. That often means pacing the work, building safety through predictable tools, and practicing small changes until they feel manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions may change over time as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or use brief written reflections. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit into daily life.
