About Kennia
Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports clients with trauma and intimacy-related issues and assists those coping with life changes.
Kennia focuses on practical, observable patterns - thoughts, feelings, and actions that repeat and get in the way. She uses clear interventions to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Sessions include developing coping skills for strong emotions and examining how behavior affects relationships.
She brings several therapy approaches into the room, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and a client-centered stance. These methods are used to address problems such as codependency, substance use concerns, communication problems, and chronic stress.
Kennia has experience working with issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, caregiver stress, and phases like divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, dissociation, and mood regulation challenges. Her work often includes skill practice and small behavior changes between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking. To begin, complete the site matching steps and book an initial appointment.
How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online
CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and routines. Online sessions let the therapist coach practical exercises, set small homework tasks, and review progress between meetings. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can be practiced in everyday life with therapist guidance. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting on what matters to the client so they can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process includes checking in on skills practice and shifting methods if needed.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in their regular environment and bring real-life situations into session for immediate feedback. Licensed professionals can describe which session lengths and formats they offer when you complete the matching questionnaire.
