About Damaris

Damaris Torres is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

Background and approach

She also addresses relationship challenges, self-esteem and confidence, trauma and grief, parenting and family dynamics, eating issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. With 12 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical therapeutic tools to support clients navigating significant life changes and day-to-day coping needs.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and an atmosphere that encourages honest expression without fear of judgment. She integrates evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients build skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and increase emotional regulation.

Damaris aims to meet people where they are, offering structured strategies alongside empathetic listening to help clients move toward clearer goals and improved functioning. Based in Florida and practicing in English, she offers remote session formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Prospective clients are encouraged to take the first step by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Evidence-Informed Strategies for Online Care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it often involves practical exercises and skill building to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage addictive patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, skills that can be useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflict, and self-directed behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods - or combination of methods - best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what proves most helpful.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals who draw on CBT and DBT techniques.
