About Carmen
Carmen Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of practice based in Texas. She focuses on common early-adult pressures like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career questions, and the challenges of major life changes. Carmen also works with concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. She sees people who identify as LGBT and those navigating multicultural or identity-related stressors, and she offers services in English and Spanish.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps people can use between meetings. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help with unhelpful thinking and emotional avoidance.
Carmen pays attention to how attachment and abandonment concerns shape current relationships. She helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of connection, and then practice different ways of responding. Communication problems, commitment worries, codependency, and blended family stress are regular topics in her work.
For those dealing with career or school transitions, she mixes solution-focused planning with motivational interviewing to clarify next steps and keep momentum. When trauma, domestic violence, or caregiver stress are part of the picture, she balances safety, pacing, and practical coping skills.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location. Carmen does not accept international clients.
How Carmen integrates evidence-based approaches into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn to act in line with their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, then testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what is already working and builds short-term, practical steps to reach goals quickly.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Carmen will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that match what you want to change. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps you make steady progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use phone-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual connection helps the work. Carmen uses these clinical approaches to guide practical, goal-focused sessions that fit into everyday life.
