Monica Torres, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Monica

Monica Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family-related concerns. Monica aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel overwhelmed by emotions or life changes.

She prefers a collaborative style. Sessions center on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and honest talk about what is and isn’t working.

Background and approach

Monica listens without judgment and helps clients name patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Her work draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift thoughts and behaviors, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build flexibility, and Attachment-Based techniques to repair relational patterns.

These methods are taught in plain language and adapted to each person’s pace. Monica also brings strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when emotional regulation or self-expression are priorities. She often focuses on communication skills, boundaries, and coping techniques that reduce daily stress.

Progress is practical and measurable rather than abstract. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Monica describes therapy as teamwork: she and the client decide on goals and steps together.

The aim is to build clearer choices, steadier emotions, and a better sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It teaches practical ways to accept difficult feelings while moving forward on meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through step-by-step exercises and real-life practice. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose techniques and adjust them over time so sessions match the person’s needs.

Online therapy can make regular care easier to keep up with. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging give additional flexibility for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and allow consistent use of the chosen therapeutic tools.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
