About Jennifer

Jennifer Torres is a licensed mental health counselor who meets people where they are. She works in a straightforward, nonjudgmental way and helps parents and individuals facing day-to-day stress and bigger life changes. Her style is practical and warm, aimed at making therapy easy to fit into busy lives.

She uses the client’s own goals to shape sessions. Jennifer draws from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work to address problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting struggles.

Background and approach

She also offers tools for coping with grief, addiction-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. Jennifer has 25 years of experience in behavioral health and has worked across settings that include inpatient and outpatient care. That background informs how she designs treatment plans and practical strategies for daily life.

She tailors her use of techniques to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. In sessions she listens first and asks for the details that matter to you. Jennifer uses simple, evidence-informed tools to change unhelpful thoughts and build stronger emotional habits.

She helps people practice new ways of relating, managing stress, and communicating more clearly. Her training and licensure are reflected in the credentials LMHC and LCMHC, and she practices in Florida. Conversations happen in English, and services are offered through a mix of live and message-based formats.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections influence current relationships. It helps people understand patterns in how they relate to others and supports building more supported ways of connecting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences and may combine approaches as those needs change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule, let parents access support between appointments, and allow ongoing contact when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, review homework, and check progress over time. The range of formats supports steady work on relationships, parenting challenges, stress, and mood issues while keeping scheduling practical for everyday life.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
