Damaris Torres

Damaris Torres is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and mood struggles. She meets readers where they are and encourages the small steps that start change. Her tone is straightforward and calm, aimed at someone who may be worried about reaching out. In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clear goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build coping tools. Conversations are kept plain and focused on what works day to day rather than jargon. Her approach is collaborative. She asks about what matters most to the client and builds a plan from there. Progress is tracked with small, achievable tasks so people can see change over time. Damaris draws on more than a decade of professional experience in behavioral health. She has worked with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and bipolar challenges. That background shapes a practical, problem-solving style. Starting therapy with her involves straightforward steps: a brief intake, goal setting, and regular work on skills between sessions. Her aim is to make therapy feel useful and relevant to everyday life. If someone prefers clear tools and stepwise progress, her style may be a good match.

How CBT and DBT techniques translate to online therapy

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow. It uses straightforward exercises that teach skills for anxiety, depression, anger, and daily stress. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship strain make it hard to cope.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist make decisions collaboratively about which skills to focus on and how to practice them between sessions.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also make some interactions simpler, for example using a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth is limited or choosing video when visual cues help with skills practice.
