About Monica
Monica Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works from Texas and speaks English and Spanish. Monica focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable for worried parents and adults alike.
She centers sessions on clear goals and simple tools. Monica draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people reduce anxious thoughts and build coping habits.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how close relationships affect stress and self-worth. Monica spends time listening first, then helps clients try small changes between sessions. She guides people in improving communication, setting boundaries, and handling painful memories.
These are taught as skills that can be practiced outside of therapy. Her work includes support for depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and blended family concerns. She also addresses related issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and codependency.
Treatment plans are practical and tailored to each person’s needs. Monica aims for a calm, straightforward style. She helps clients build resilience and clearer choices.
The goal is to leave sessions with something useful to try that week.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts without letting them control actions. It uses mindfulness and values-based steps to help with anxiety, stress, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits and reduce worry. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, and a way to stay connected without scheduling a full appointment. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around busy schedules and caregiving duties.
