Doris Benrey Boguslavsky

Doris Benrey Boguslavsky is an LMHC with forty years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, and struggles with self-esteem. Doris works in English, Spanish, and French, and sees clients in Florida as well as international clients.

Her practice combines careful listening with in-depth, person-centered care. Sessions focus on clear communication, identifying patterns that keep problems repeating, and building practical steps clients can try between meetings. She often addresses isolation, guilt and shame, and complexities that arise during divorce or separation.

Doris has long experience with family-of-origin issues, blended family dynamics, and parenting transitions. She also supports people dealing with body image, attachment concerns, autism spectrum experiences, immigration challenges, and caregiver stress. Men's issues, pregnancy and childbirth topics, and midlife transitions are also within her scope.

Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, and community mental health clinics, which shaped how she helps parents and groups as well as individuals. That breadth of settings informs a flexible approach to common life changes and crises.

The goal in her room is practical change and deeper self-understanding. Doris aims to create an affirming space where people feel heard and can try manageable, realistic steps toward better relationships and emotional balance.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Many of the therapeutic techniques used are evidence-based and focus on understanding patterns and building new skills. One common approach involves exploring attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current behavior; this helps with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and family conflicts. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing stress and anxiety, teaching practical practices for calming the body, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and improving daily routines to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to identify which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That might mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting based on what feels helpful and achievable.

If you prefer online work, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on brief days. It can also let people work with a therapist who speaks their language even if they live far away. Discuss scheduling, session length, and any technical preferences when you begin so sessions match your practical needs.
