Jennifer Torres, LMHC, LCMHC

Jennifer Torres is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience helping people navigate addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on each person's strengths. Jennifer emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to cope with stress and move toward their goals.

Her work combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral tools. She listens first, then builds a plan shaped around the person's history and current needs. Sessions often include skill-building, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthening relationships where that matters.

Jennifer has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings, and has experience in substance use and addiction treatment. That background informs a grounded approach to dealing with relapse risks, cravings, and the life strain that often comes with addiction and caregiving roles.

She uses a strengths-based, client-centered stance and avoids judgment. Clients are invited to say what matters most to them so therapy can focus on realistic goals and small, steady changes. Jennifer also draws on dialectical behavior techniques when emotion regulation and interpersonal skills are priorities.

People who choose her care can expect clear, direct conversation about steps they can try between sessions. Jennifer works from Florida as a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC and LCMHC - and offers help in English.

How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help people understand and change repeated relationship patterns. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience, offering empathic listening and support while the client sets goals and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jennifer will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what is working.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into daily life, reduce travel time, and make scheduling quicker. Online sessions also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or full sessions for skills practice and deeper work. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment-focused and CBT interventions to an online setting so the work stays focused on practical skills and relationship patterns.
