About George
George Torres is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of practice in New York. He focuses on clear, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the strain that comes with parenting. He speaks English and uses straightforward language so parents can quickly understand next steps.
He works directly with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, sleeping problems, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and career-related stress.
Background and approach
He also supports people managing first responder issues and the unique pressures those roles bring. Sessions are shaped around the goals each person brings to therapy. George blends several evidence-based techniques to help clients learn new skills, process difficult experiences, and change unhelpful patterns.
He aims to make each session focused and practical, with steps people can try between meetings. Treatment is tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and calm listening while working with people through life transitions and relationship strain.
Parents will find a therapist who talks plainly about parenting challenges and coping strategies. Taking a first step can feel hard, and he offers steady support throughout the process. Sessions can be scheduled by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing times that fit the client.
Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based methods and online support for busy parents
George uses widely researched techniques to help people manage symptoms and learn new ways of coping. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood regulation. Mindfulness-based strategies train attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which many people find useful for stress and anger. He also uses trauma-focused work to help process difficult events and reduce their impact on daily life.Choosing the right approach is a shared effort. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the issues you bring, then recommend methods to try. If something isn’t working, adjustments can be made so the work fits your needs and pace.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you talk face-to-face from wherever you are, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates between sessions. These options help parents balance therapy with work, childcare, and other responsibilities.
