Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Damaris uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical strategies and skill building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based techniques can be particularly helpful for people managing strong emotions, relationship conflicts, impulsive behaviors, or difficulties with coping under pressure.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Damaris works with each person to clarify goals, assess what resonates, and adapt methods to fit individual needs and preferences. Together they monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access therapy with licensed professionals. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and use formats that feel most comfortable for each person.
