About Yvonne
LCSW-R, New York. Yvonne Torres has 33 years of clinical experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients. The first paragraph should help a worried reader know who she is and what she focuses on.
Yvonne helps people who are managing substance use concerns and those navigating grief or long-term sadness. She also works with people facing trauma, overwhelming anxiety, or the stress of caregiving and aging issues. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at building clearer next steps rather than abstract theory.
In sessions she listens for the immediate problems and offers concrete ways to reduce distress. She addresses communication breakdowns, control issues, guilt and shame, and challenges that come with divorce or separation. For people connected to first responder work or immigration stress, she draws on long experience to identify realistic coping strategies.
Her practice also covers issues that intersect with other diagnoses, like co-morbidity and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. She has worked with domestic violence and hospice and end-of-life concerns, and with people dealing with forgiveness or abandonment wounds. Her approach is practical and focused on what a person can do between sessions.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting where goals and a plan are discussed. Payment varies with location and is delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work
Yvonne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and problem solving. One approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress - teaching short practices and behavioral steps people can use when they feel overwhelmed. Another approach centers on interventions for substance use and addictive behaviors, focusing on identifying triggers, planning alternative actions, and strengthening motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client assess symptoms, goals, and preferences in the first sessions and decide which techniques to emphasize. The plan can be adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life because it cuts commuting time, allows shorter check-ins during a busy day, or makes scheduling across time zones simpler. If you need to combine methods or try different session lengths, that can be discussed during the initial scheduling and matching process.
