About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problems with motivation or self-esteem. She offers straightforward support for grief, trauma, relationship tensions, anger, and struggles with addiction. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at people who are nervous about starting therapy.
She builds an open space where clients can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear tools rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Damaris encourages small, achievable changes that fit into daily life. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients manage emotions and change unhelpful thinking. She uses these approaches to teach coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and break cycles that fuel anxiety or substance use.
With twelve years of experience and a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, she brings steady clinical experience to common life challenges. She meets people where they are and works at a pace that suits each person. Many clients begin by identifying one or two manageable goals.
From there she helps track progress and adjust strategies as needed. The emphasis is on realistic, usable skills that make daily life feel more manageable. If someone is ready to try therapy, Damaris supports each step of the process and helps clients find the right path forward for their needs.
How DBT and CBT Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Online CBT often uses worksheets, short skill practice, and structured discussions to target specific problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. In an online format DBT skills are taught through guided practice, role-play, and coaching on how to use new strategies in stressful moments. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits, then pick methods that match those needs. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress is tracked and new challenges arise. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or support between sessions, making it easier to use therapy during a busy week.Questions people ask
