About Damaris

Damaris Torres is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Clients find a direct, compassionate approach that aims to address immediate struggles while building practical skills for everyday life.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and emotional safety, encouraging honest communication about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Damaris integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and practice skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

She frames therapy as a process that requires courage and active participation, and she works with each person to set realistic goals and measure progress in ways that fit their life and values.

Online Approaches and Practical Support

Many clients benefit from structured, skills-oriented methods and Damaris draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management by focusing on practical strategies and measurable goals. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, or coping with crises.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work together with each person to determine which strategies and exercises best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress and circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access regular support from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of their day, making it easier to practice new skills between meetings and stay consistent with treatment.
