About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and other life changes. Sessions are presented plainly and with directness to help people take practical steps forward.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. In sessions she and the client identify patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or avoidance. Work often focuses on small, realistic changes that fit into everyday life.
Conversations tend to be practical and goal-focused. She guides clients through exercises that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Homework and short skills practice between sessions are common to reinforce progress.
Damaris pays attention to how stress shows up in relationships and at work. She helps people untangle cycles of reactivity and teaches ways to interrupt those cycles before they escalate. The approach combines thought work with behavioral experiments to test new responses.
People who want explicit tools for handling anger, staying calm under pressure, or recovering from setbacks will find concrete strategies in sessions. She asks questions, listens closely, and adjusts methods based on how well they work for the individual. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first meeting.
How sessions work
How CBT and DBT are used in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It helps with anxiety, depression, anger patterns, and behaviors like avoidance by teaching straightforward ways to reframe thinking and try different actions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches skills for managing intense emotions without acting on them and for communicating more clearly in heated moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which techniques to use and will adjust methods based on the client's goals and what proves helpful. That means trying skills in session, reviewing how they went, and shifting focus when needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing skills in the settings where stress and anger typically occur. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to pick what fits your routine.
