About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with twelve years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

She aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies. Damaris creates an atmosphere where clients can talk about feelings without judgment and try out new ways to cope.
How Damaris works
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. That means sessions often include skill practice, thought work, and learning ways to manage intense emotions. She uses concrete tools clients can apply between meetings.
Damaris describes therapy as a team effort. She works with each person to set priorities and track progress over time. Small, steady changes are a common focus rather than quick fixes.
She offers a straightforward, down-to-earth style. Conversations are direct and practical, and she encourages homework that fits into everyday life. The goal is better functioning and more confidence in handling hard moments.

Online support options
CBT and DBT tools for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps people change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or unhealthy habits by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with strong reactions or relationship stress.
Finding the right approach usually takes a little time. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which techniques fit best based on goals, needs, and day-to-day realities. Sessions can shift focus as progress is tracked and priorities change.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates, practice exercises, or check in between longer meetings. These formats offer flexibility and multiple ways to work on skills outside the therapy hour.
