About Damaris
Damaris Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns. She communicates in English and Spanish and brings five years of clinical experience to her sessions. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward.
Her work centers on understanding each person's background and values. She pays close attention to cultural and immigration-related experiences and the ways family history can shape current struggles.
Background and approach
She also addresses blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and challenges that come with chronic illness or aging. Sessions focus on building skills and insight. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients cope with panic, social anxiety, attachment issues, and body image concerns.
Practical tools and short-term strategies are combined with attention to deeper patterns that affect relationships and mood. Her approach is person-centered and collaborative. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels manageable.
The aim is to create clearer thinking, better communication, and more reliable ways to handle hard moments. Damaris emphasizes respect for identity and lived experience. She takes a sensitive stance toward domestic violence recovery, grief, forgiveness work, and immigration-related stress.
That translates into focused sessions that honor each person’s story while working toward concrete goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Damaris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress management. It teaches breathing and grounding exercises, step-by-step planning, and ways to break down overwhelming tasks so they feel more manageable. Another emphasis is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult memories at a pace that feels tolerable while learning ways to reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, shorter focused work, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make consistent care more convenient and easier to maintain.
