About Kennia
Kennia Torres is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who uses practical, hands-on therapy to help people cope with emotional strain. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience and works in California. She speaks English and Spanish and supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns.
She mixes approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. Sessions often focus on noticing thoughts and values, building useful coping skills, and improving everyday communication.
Background and approach
That can look like practicing new ways to respond to stress or learning small routines that ease parenting challenges. Her background includes work addressing trauma, codependency, substance use, and problems that come from family of origin patterns. She also helps people facing caregiver strain, abandonment issues, divorce and separation, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.
That experience informs practical strategies for managing mood, motivation, and relationships. Therapy sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. The therapist helps people identify what matters most, then breaks changes into manageable steps.
Clients can expect direct guidance, skill practice, and discussion about what works between sessions. Language options include English and Spanish. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, and making small behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that worsen mood and learning practical skills to change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, motivation, and coping routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest one or a mix of approaches. Decisions are collaborative and can change over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief support, homework review, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, childcare, or school commitments and to keep momentum between meetings.
