Getting to know Carol Torres

Hi there, I'm Carol! Hello, I am Carol Torres. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW#82682). I provide telehealth services in California. I provide monolingual services to English and Spanish-speaking clients. I am passionate about wellness and supporting my clients in their journey toward healing from life’s challenges and improving their quality of life. My approach My therapy approach varies based on each client’s stage of change or therapeutic need(s). I have most frequently applied cognitive and behavioral-based modalities to assist my clients to actively restructure problematic thinking and behavioral patterns that may be hindering, limiting, harming, or contradicting their healing and growth journey. My focus The clients I typically work with are adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or who are enduring a life situation and need support to navigate or heal from life difficulties. I achieve this by assisting my clients to develop insight and coping skills to manage their problem areas. My communication style I believe that providing a supportive and judgment-free environment to all my clients is essential for a strong therapeutic alliance. I believe that clients are in their individual journey toward finding healing and that a comfortable communication approach is essential to assisting clients. I strongly value and apply active listening, empathy, assertiveness, and compassion during sessions. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker began at an early age as a mentor to my student peers and later colleagues. I noticed I had a natural tendency to guide and help others. I began to do community volunteering and gained experience working with various groups of people. I earned my professional social work degree from the University of Southern California and later gained post-graduate experience in certified anger management. I now have 15 years of experience in my profession.
