Hello, My name is Johanna Torres, and I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I work with adults and specialize in working with females experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, family conflicts, divorce, and childhood trauma. If you're overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, emotional dysregulation, experiencing that vague brain fog of dissociation or you just want to understand yourself better. I can help you to explore these issues and to find ways to meet your goals and needs. It's time to start healing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I provide a calm and empathic communication style, using active listening and understanding of the behaviors, beliefs, and core values of the clients. I will provide a safe space for my clients where they can feel free to talk about their feelings, problems, concerns, or situations to someone who will listen without judgment. Your first session marks the beginning of what you've been contemplating for a while now. It's time to take that step forward.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, promoting self-acceptance, self-esteem, and personal growth, and minimizing negative feelings. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I frequently use Cognitive behavioral therapy when working with clients presenting symptoms of anxiety and depression. I have found it helpful to raise self-esteem, increase positive thoughts, anger management, self-growth and coping skills improvement.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

Using DBT as a treatment method has helped my clients manage behaviors, emotions, and thoughts acknowledging the need for change in a context of acceptance.

Eclectic

Using an eclectic therapeutic approach has been helpful when an integrative approach is necessary to meet a client's specific needs.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

The Clients that I have worked with have reported a decrease in their anxiety symptoms when they practice mindfulness techniques by focusing on the present. Mindfulness-based treatments have been shown to reduce anxiety and depression.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

A person-centered approach promotes unconditional positive regard and acceptance, empathy while helping the client minimize symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, or stress. When implementing this approach, I help the clients find a balance between the idealized self and the actual self while they strengthen trust in the self and others.
