About Leticia
Leticia Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Leticia works with clients who struggle with social anxiety and phobia and related challenges such as panic attacks and isolation.
She prefers a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. Leticia treats the person, not just the problem, and uses practical conversation to identify what feels manageable. Sessions often focus on small, concrete steps that reduce overwhelm and build confidence in social situations.
Leticia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and helps people experiment with different coping strategies. The work can include practicing skills, trying new ways of relating, and reflecting on past experiences that influence current reactions.
She also attends to cultural background and the stresses that come from navigating multiple identities. Leticia can work in English or Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Her approach emphasizes realistic goals and clear steps rather than long, abstract discussions.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session. Leticia aims to help people notice small changes that make social situations feel less overwhelming over time.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Leticia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce anxiety in social situations, which can help with panic attacks and avoidance. Another approach involves processing difficult memories or reactions so they have less hold over daily life; this can help people struggling with trauma and intense stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques feel most useful based on their goals, preferences, and what comes up in sessions. That plan can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote work lowers the threshold for trying a first session, while others prefer a longer meeting to practice social skills. Discussing these practical preferences ahead of time helps match session length and style to everyday life.
