Doris Benrey Boguslavsky, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Doris

Doris Benrey Boguslavsky is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with forty years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, intimacy issues, and self-esteem. Doris speaks English, Spanish, and French, and she welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.

Her work combines deep listening with a person-centered approach. She helps people name communication patterns and attachment dynamics that get in the way of closer relationships.

Background and approach

Doris also supports those coping with divorce and separation, blended family challenges, and the unique stresses of caregiving and immigration. She has long experience addressing body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and midlife transitions. She brings particular attention to fatherhood issues, men’s concerns, and the needs of young adults.

Autism spectrum experiences and family-of-origin patterns are also areas she regularly explores with clients. Doris trained in a five-year postgraduate psychoanalytic program as a child and adolescent psychotherapist and has worked in hospitals, schools, and mental health clinics. That background informs how she looks at family systems and developmental histories when appropriate.

In sessions she aims to create an affirming environment where people feel heard. The work often involves talking through relationship patterns, practicing clearer communication, and building steadier self-esteem. She helps clients set realistic goals and takes a collaborative pace based on each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Doris draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize understanding emotional patterns and relationships. One common approach she uses focuses on attachment and relationship dynamics, helping people see how early patterns influence current communication and closeness. This can be useful for addressing intimacy concerns, family conflict, and recurring relationship struggles.

Another often-used approach looks at stress and anxiety through practical skills and reflection. It helps people recognize triggers, experiment with new responses, and build steadier self-esteem. This style can support those facing midlife transitions, caregiver strain, or persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Doris collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and pace. She will discuss options and adjust the focus as progress unfolds so the plan feels useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats directly before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help sustain continuity of care for international clients who live far from Florida.
