George Torres, LCSW-R

George Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 24 years of professional experience. He has worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, and depression, drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques to address each client’s goals.

He provides EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches, adapting those methods to the needs of the person in therapy. George emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, creating space for clients to explore difficult emotions and experiences while working toward greater wellbeing.

Sessions are shaped around the individual’s concerns - dialogue and treatment plans are tailored to specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. He frames the work as a collaborative process, offering steady support as clients take the courageous steps necessary to pursue a more fulfilling and happier life.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Care

George Torres offers several evidence-based approaches suited to online formats. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall - it is often used to help people reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and stress management. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and coping strategies to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. George collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - sessions can fit into busy schedules, remove travel barriers, and allow consistent contact even when in-person visits are difficult. These options make it easier for clients to engage in care with licensed professionals and to continue therapy in a way that suits their life.
