About Damaris
Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. Damaris Torres supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and related issues. She also works on trauma and abuse, grief, eating struggles, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar management, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical.
Torres uses clear, skills-based approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She focuses on teaching tools people can use between sessions to manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking. Conversations move from identifying patterns to practicing concrete coping strategies.
In early sessions she listens for what matters most and what feels hardest right now. Then she and the client set achievable goals and plan small steps. Homework may include short exercises to notice thoughts, try new behaviors, or practice emotion-regulation techniques.
She frames sessions as collaborative problem-solving rather than lengthy interpretation. When working on addictions or mood instability, sessions give space for both immediate coping skills and longer-term behavior change. For parenting and relationship concerns she helps individuals sort through triggers and communication patterns.
Torres names practical tools over theory. This means role-play, thought records, emotion regulation practices, and skills-building from DBT when intense emotions are present. She encourages people to track progress and adjust plans as life changes.

How her CBT and DBT approaches shape online work
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some eating concerns.DBT emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions and reducing self-destructive behaviors. In DBT-informed sessions the therapist teaches breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance techniques, then practices them with the client. This is helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when coping strategies need strengthening.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, listen to what has and hasn’t helped, and recommend techniques that match the person’s needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and life changes.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find online help fits into workdays and family routines because it can reduce travel and make scheduling easier. Online work can also allow brief check-ins, practicing skills in a familiar setting, or using fewer resources when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions to keep work focused and practical.
