About George

George Torres is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 24 years of professional experience. He has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and a range of life transitions, and he uses evidence-based techniques to help clients move toward their goals.

Background and approach

He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in his work and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s specific circumstances. Torres offers approaches such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based work to address symptoms and develop practical coping strategies.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process, inviting clients to shape goals and choose methods that fit their needs. Whether someone is managing grief, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, or career concerns, he aims to provide steady support and tailored guidance throughout the therapeutic journey.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

George Torres uses several evidence-based methods tailored to different kinds of challenges. EMDR is one approach he employs that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions by working with eye movements or similar protocols. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, mood regulation, and problem solving. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation, which can be useful for stress, sleep difficulties, and emotional reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore preferences, symptoms, and goals, and then adapt methods over time so therapy remains responsive and practical. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and access support from home while still working with licensed professionals who use proven therapeutic techniques.
