About Kennia
Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with individuals to address stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. Kennia speaks English and Spanish and practices from California.
Kennia focuses on helping people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients make sense of what's causing distress. Sessions often involve building coping skills to manage strong emotions and reduce problem behaviors.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical strategies and supportive listening. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses acceptance-based ideas to help people live in line with their values even when difficult feelings remain.
Clients who struggle with codependency, communication problems, or commitment issues may find concrete tools to use between sessions. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma, and burnout by teaching emotion regulation and motivational skills. Work in therapy can include setting small goals and practicing new ways of responding.
Kennia aims to create a calm, respectful space for clients to talk through painful topics. She encourages gradual change and celebrates practical steps forward. Her style is pragmatic, empathic, and focused on everyday results.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and practicing different, more helpful ways of responding to everyday problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be used when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different strategies to see what fits best. Together you will set small, achievable steps and adjust methods based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have a conversation similar to in-person sessions while seeing visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills between sessions.
