About Monica

Monica Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship challenges, including family concerns and self-esteem issues.

She focuses on making therapy practical. Monica helps people clarify what matters to them and teaches simple tools to manage strong emotions. Sessions often include work on communication, coping skills for anxiety, and strategies for low mood.

Monica uses several therapy styles to match different needs. She draws on approaches that address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and attachment concerns. This gives room for both short-term skill building and deeper reflection when it’s needed.

She supports people dealing with life transitions too, such as changes in relationships, caregiving stress, and adjusting after loss or separation. Monica also addresses concerns like body image, chronic illness stress, and problems with trust or commitment.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People in Texas will find her familiar with local concerns and long-term community resources. To begin, clients complete an intake and set goals for what they want to work on together.

How Monica’s approaches translate to online sessions

Monica often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify values and build small habits that match those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with trust, commitment, and family-related stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest strategies from different approaches. Together they decide what to focus on and try practical tools that fit the person’s everyday life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing check-ins from wherever someone is. It also lets people use techniques in real contexts, practice communication skills between sessions, and bring examples from day-to-day life into therapy.
