Monica Torres

Monica Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck after change, who are wrestling with anxiety or depression, or who are working through trauma and difficult relationship patterns.

Her work centers on practical, everyday conversations. Monica listens to what is happening now and asks clear questions about how problems affect daily life. She helps people notice patterns, try different coping skills, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Monica often supports people facing family strain, communication breakdowns, and issues around abandonment or attachment. She also works with concerns such as self-esteem, body image, chronic illness or pain, and the stress of caregiving. Sessions can address both immediate coping and longer term changes in behavior and thinking.

Her methods draw on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered care. That combination lets her match tools to a person’s situation and pace.

Monica offers therapy in English and Spanish. She helps people who are sorting out next steps in work or life, recovering from past hurt, or learning clearer ways to talk and set boundaries. To begin, she asks people to describe practical goals and then builds simple steps toward them.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it suits anxiety, depression, and behavior change work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns that began early in life and helps people understand and change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will discuss what feels most useful, try approaches, and adjust based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue continuity of care after a move or during life changes. If you need a particular session type, check the available options when you sign up so sessions match your daily routine.
