About Carmen

Carmen Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a decade of clinical experience who practices in Texas. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of life transitions including career shifts and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Carmen’s work also includes support around ADHD, eating and body-image issues, anger, self-esteem, and LGBTQ-related concerns, approached with cultural awareness and respect. Her style blends practical skill-building with empathy, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, and client-centered care to tailor strategies to each person’s situation.

Carmen emphasizes collaboration and clear communication, working with clients to identify values, set achievable goals, and develop tools for daily coping. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish, and she offers a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Clients seeking assistance with attachment wounds, codependency, blended family dynamics, or other interpersonal difficulties will find focused attention on improving communication and boundary-setting. Carmen frames therapy as a process of growing resilience and self-understanding rather than a one-size-fits-all fix.

Approach-Oriented Care Delivered Online



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more adaptive skills; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful action, which can be helpful for stress, life transitions, and coping with persistent symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and active listening to create a supportive environment where clients can explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand goals, preferences, and practical needs, and may combine elements from different methods to better fit the client's situation. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions around what matters most to the client rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, coaching, and skills practice without requiring travel, supporting continuity of care across changing schedules and responsibilities.
