About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting pressures, and anger. Her tone is direct and encouraging, aimed at parents and caregivers looking for clear, practical help.
She practices in Florida and works primarily in English. Her sessions focus on building a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly about what’s going on.
Background and approach
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. Practical techniques and small homework tasks are common in her approach. With 12 years of experience, she draws on a range of real-world strategies rather than abstract theory.
She helps people break problems into manageable steps and track progress week to week. That steady, skills-based work often makes everyday life feel more manageable. She explains ideas plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
Appointments can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy family schedules. Costs vary with location and are handled through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process straightforward and supportive.
Online approaches that teach skills for daily life
Damaris uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts and teaches step-by-step strategies that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reacting differently in heated moments.
Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals and try methods that match those needs. If a technique does not fit, they adjust the plan together until it feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit family schedules. These options let people work on skills from home, during breaks, or while traveling. The variety of formats supports ongoing practice and makes it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
