About

Michelle Torres M brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice, working with people facing complex and intersecting challenges. She supports individuals who have experienced trauma and who are in the process of exploring and reclaiming their identities while making sense of how past events continue to affect them.

She also helps clients uncover the underlying contributors to depression and anxiety, guiding them beyond symptom relief toward a clearer understanding of what fuels their distress. Michelle works with people who struggle with people-pleasing and boundary-setting, offering practical strategies to build self-assertion and personal empowerment.

Her professional perspective is informed by lived experience as a minority, which shaped her awareness of how systemic forces influence wellbeing at macro, mezzo, and micro levels. She pays attention to the role of family traditions and cultural influences in shaping beliefs and behaviors, and she is committed to helping clients feel seen, understood, and more in control of their lives. Michelle holds CA LCSW 108299, which denotes a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions - online therapy has proven to be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and practice show that virtual sessions can deliver meaningful progress for these issues.

One major benefit is the flexibility to connect in the way that works best for each person. Clients can meet with therapists via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, making it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.

All involved therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. This adaptability often helps people find the right therapeutic match while maintaining continuity of care.
