About Leticia
Leticia Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with guilt and shame and related concerns such as isolation or relationship struggles.
She begins by treating the person as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on concrete strengths a person already has and on small steps that feel doable. Leticia listens for what someone values and what is getting in the way of daily life, then helps arrange those observations into practical next steps.
Her approach emphasizes clear, evidence-based techniques combined with steady, straightforward guidance. Conversations often include ways to manage overwhelming feelings, techniques to reduce panic or intense anxiety, and strategies for handling intrusive memories related to trauma. She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes shame, guilt, and coping styles.
Leticia offers sessions in English and Spanish. She accepts international clients who can work with a California LCSW. Cost varies by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques are used online
Leticia works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress and increase coping skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments, which can help with anxiety, panic, and social fears. Trauma-informed strategies emphasize grounding and pacing to manage overwhelming memories or symptoms after abuse or loss.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, previous attempts at help, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as needs change.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when life situations change, and this can help maintain steady progress without requiring frequent in-person visits.
