About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and other life changes. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on skills people can use day to day.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to address thinking patterns and emotional reactions. In sessions she works with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies. Expect step-by-step skills practice rather than abstract theory.
Her approach is direct and practical. She helps people recognize triggers, try out new responses, and track what does or does not work. Conversations include behavioral experiments, coping strategies, and goal-focused planning that can be applied between sessions.
Damaris pays attention to problems that often come together, such as anxiety with substance use, low motivation with relationship conflict, or grief alongside anger. She will help prioritize what feels most urgent and create short-term goals to reduce immediate distress.
People who choose her often want clear tools and straightforward feedback. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT and DBT are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. It involves simple exercises and behavioral experiments that reduce stress and reactivity. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that fuel anger.DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, mindful awareness, and building interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help someone notice rising frustration and choose a different response.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Damaris will work with each person to decide which tools suit their goals and preferences. Together they’ll try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a real schedule, such as shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. Licensed professionals can guide skills practice, assign brief between-session exercises, and review progress in ways that fit everyday life.
