Damaris Torres

Damaris Torres is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She fosters a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what’s hard and take the next step. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports each person at their own pace.

With 12 years of experience, Damaris uses straightforward methods so clients can try small changes that add up. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to manage strong emotions and improve coping when feelings feel overwhelming.

Sessions focus on practical strategies and clear goals. Conversations might include learning skills for stress management, setting boundaries, or creating routines that support recovery from addiction. Damaris also helps people work through grief, trauma-related reactions, mood swings, and parenting strain.

Her approach is collaborative and problem-focused. She listens first, then helps plan steps that suit each person’s daily life. Progress is tracked in small ways so clients can see what is changing.

Damaris practices in Florida as an LMHC, and she conducts sessions in English. People interested in starting sign up through the platform and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How CBT and DBT Shape Online Care

Many of the skills Damaris uses come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, more effective responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when daily thinking patterns get in the way of feeling better.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel intense, when relationships are strained, or when someone needs tools to manage urges and strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Damaris will listen to what matters to the client, talk about goals and preferences, and then suggest which skills or methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, child care, or travel. It also lets people try shorter check-ins or skills-focused visits when time is tight. Licensed professionals can guide clients in choosing a schedule and format that fits everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
