About Damaris

Damaris Tobar is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in the San Gabriel Valley, California, who provides therapeutic support to adults across the state via telehealth. With four years of clinical experience, she focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma, domestic violence, substance use concerns, and issues that commonly affect women. Her practice blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with an awareness of how broader systems and power dynamics can shape a person’s experience of distress.

She draws on elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness along with a trauma-informed and feminist perspective to help clients build emotional regulation, reduce symptoms of anxiety, and address the effects of past and ongoing harm. Damaris aims to create a warm, empathetic space while remaining honest and direct, using appropriate humor to build rapport and connection. She seeks to establish a steady therapeutic relationship that helps people feel grounded and more able to navigate daily challenges.

As a licensed clinician, Damaris emphasizes collaborative work with each client, tailoring strategies to individual goals and circumstances and supporting clients in finding approaches that fit their lives and values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Damaris commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and some addiction-related concerns. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to support grounding, present-moment awareness, and improved emotional regulation, which can reduce reactivity and increase coping capacity. In addition, she works from a trauma-informed perspective that focuses on safety, stabilization, and pacing to address the impacts of trauma and abuse.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Damaris collaborates with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find the best fit.



Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor treatment to each client's circumstances.
