About Damaris
Damaris Torres is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and mood concerns. She greets people with a direct, calm approach and aims to make the first step into therapy easier. Her manner is warm and straightforward, so clients can talk about hard things without feeling judged.
She draws on 12 years of experience supporting people through grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and changes in life circumstances.
Background and approach
Damaris uses practical tools to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild daily routines. Sessions often include concrete skills for coping, grounding, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns. Damaris commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those methods are offered in simple, step-by-step ways during conversations and practice between sessions. Her style is collaborative.
She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. Progress is measured by real-life changes, like fewer outbursts, better sleep, or steadier mood swings, rather than quick fixes. People who choose her can expect flexible session formats and a focus on practical relief.
She encourages honest talk, active skill practice, and steady pacing so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online approaches for emotion and behavior skills
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It focuses on small experiments and practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed anger. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Those skills can help when feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in cycles of conflict.Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust pace, pick which skills to practice, and decide whether more CBT-style work or DBT skills feel most useful in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets you have face-to-face conversations; phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to keep up with over time.
