About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She supports those facing addictions, relationship trouble, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her direct approach aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and clear.
She creates a calm space for people to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small, steady steps. She emphasizes practical tools clients can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas. That means paying attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and learning skills to regulate emotions and tolerate distress. The goal is to reduce unhelpful cycles and build more effective coping habits.
With 12 years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, she combines steady clinical experience with a straightforward style. She listens for the problems that matter most and tailors the conversation to each person’s pace. People commonly bring concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD challenges, anger, eating struggles, bipolar symptoms, or compassion fatigue.
Sessions may include goal setting, skill practice, and short-term problem solving to help people move forward. Starting therapy can feel hard. She aims to make scheduling and first sessions simple, and to help people notice early improvements through practical steps and regular check-ins.
CBT and DBT approaches for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality. It helps people change patterns that increase anxiety or depression and teaches clear tools for day-to-day problems. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when strong emotions, impulsive behaviors, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT-style thought work with DBT skills training and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
