Background and approach
Damaris encourages clients to take gradual steps toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She uses those tools to help with anger, grief, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions.
Conversations are focused and practical, with skills you can use between sessions. With 12 years of experience in mental health care, she brings steady support and practical strategies. She emphasizes collaboration and helps people decide which methods feel most useful.
Many people find the mix of skills training and talk therapy gives them clearer direction. Starting therapy is acknowledged as a big step. Damaris guides clients through an initial plan and then refines it as needs change.
Her goal is to help people build manageable habits that reduce daily stress and improve coping over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions this often means identifying patterns, trying small experiments between visits, and tracking results to see what helps for anxiety, depression, or parenting stress.DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. Remote work can include practicing grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and step-by-step plans for distress tolerance that are useful during big moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person's needs and preferences. If a technique does not feel helpful, she will adjust the plan together with the client to find a better fit.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for teaching skills and role plays. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or a workday.
