About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with addictions, low self-esteem, anger, and grief. Damaris works to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on current problems and small steps that can make daily life easier. She encourages people to name what they want to change and to test new ways of coping between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which builds skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving relationships. She tailors tools from these methods to fit each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Over a dozen years of work in Florida has shaped her practical style. She emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult choices and painful events. Progress is tracked by the small, concrete changes clients report in their day-to-day life.
People who come to see her can expect clear goals, concrete coping strategies, and room to process hard feelings. She invites clients to move at a pace that feels doable while trying out new skills that help with mood, impulse control, and stressful interactions.
How CBT and DBT translate to online care
Damaris uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways that work well over remote sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage strong emotions and improve interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. She collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs, and she adjusts strategies based on what actually helps. This makes the process practical and goal-oriented rather than theoretical.
The practical advantages of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a work break or keep momentum between in-person visits.
