About Doris
Doris Benrey Boguslavsky is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with forty years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. She also addresses guilt and shame alongside a broad range of personal and relational struggles.
Doris uses an in-depth, person-centered way of working that emphasizes careful listening and close attention to patterns in relationships. In sessions she helps people talk through communication problems, loneliness, and attachment patterns that keep repeating. She also supports people handling divorce and separation, blended family challenges, and fatherhood issues.
Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, and mental health clinics, and a five-year postgraduate psychoanalytic program in child and adolescent psychotherapy. That history informs how she looks at family-of-origin issues and long-standing emotional patterns.
She speaks English, Spanish, and French and has experience with multicultural and immigration-related concerns. She also works with people on body image, caregiver stress, and challenges related to autism spectrum experiences.
Doris helps people who are juggling big life changes, such as midlife transitions, parenting shifts, or the aftermath of separation. She describes the first phase of work as mapping the problem and noticing recurring relationship habits. From there she and the client decide practical next steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work, used to understand patterns and make practical changes. One common approach is exploring attachment patterns to see how early relationship experiences shape present interactions; this can help when intimacy, communication, or recurring relationship struggles are the concern. Another frequent focus is addressing anxiety and stress with structured problem-solving and attention to how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going; that is useful for everyday worry and work-family strain.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their goals and situation, trying different ways of working until a clear plan emerges. The client’s preferences, stressors, and the problems they bring guide which methods are used.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in her biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, sessions during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. It can also allow sessions in another language when needed, given she speaks English, Spanish, and French. Practical arrangements are discussed at the start so sessions fit a person’s daily routine.
