About Kennia
Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, and grief. She brings 14 years of experience and a calm, practical style to sessions. Kennia speaks English and Spanish and practices in California.
She starts by listening to what matters most and helping people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That helps clients spot patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include learning coping skills to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Kennia uses approaches that are goal-oriented and grounded in the person sitting across from her. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to workable changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to challenge unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits.
She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the client’s perspective, and on Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be introduced to help with emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are needed.
Kennia has worked with concerns such as trauma and abuse, substance use, codependency, parenting and fatherhood questions, and compassion fatigue. She helps people facing life transitions, divorce, and family of origin issues. The work aims to help people feel steadier, make clearer choices, and move toward goals they value.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and strengthen personal motivation.Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and motivational techniques so sessions stay practical and personally relevant.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit daily life and support steady progress.
