About Damaris
Damaris Torres is an LMHC licensed in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and address relationship concerns. She also supports clients facing low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and attention-related difficulties.
She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Damaris works together with clients to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She suggests specific strategies to test new ways of responding to situations. Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented.
Damaris uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that get in the way. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Those methods are mixed into clear, short-term plans when they fit a client's goals.
She pays attention to daily routines and small changes that add up. That can include experimenting with brief behavioral tasks, tracking moods, or practicing grounding and emotion-regulation techniques. Progress is measured by concrete steps rather than abstract ideas.
People who choose her often want straightforward tools and a steady process. She encourages practical problem solving, repeated practice, and checking what does and does not work. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options and scheduling details.
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thoughts, feelings, and actions into steps people can change. CBT sessions focus on recognizing unhelpful thinking, testing small behavioral experiments, and tracking what works for daily life.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical ways to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive behavior. DBT-style skills training covers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a mix makes the most sense based on goals and preferences. That plan can change as people try techniques and see what fits.
Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here.
