Hello! My name is Nancy Carina Torres and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with diverse populations in California. My psychotherapy work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions.

My name is Nancy Carina Torres and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with diverse populations in California.

First session

My approach to therapy is client-centered. I offer a safe space to support and encourage clients process their feelings through self-reflection, develop positive coping skills and identify their strengths. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution Focus Therapy. My communication style is personable and non-judgmental. My goal is for clients to feel heard and validated.

Strengths

I have worked with clients of various ages and diverse backgrounds dealing with Anxiety, Depression, grief/loss and stress.

Ideal clients

As a LCSW in California, I offer a client-centered and strength-based approach to individuals suffering from mental health and other life stressors. I have worked with young adults, multi cultural and adults. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to serve a wider range of individuals and families with cultural sensitivity and understanding. My psychotherapy work is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered, and mindfulness-based approaches. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space that empowers clients to explore challenges, develop insight, and foster resilience. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I aim to support clients in achieving meaningful, sustainable change.
