About Doris
Doris Benrey Boguslavsky is a Florida LMHC with 40 years of clinical experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues and self-esteem. Doris communicates in English, Spanish, and French.
Her practice focuses on real-life family and parenting pressures. She helps people talk through communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family adjustments, and the strain that comes with divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and body-image concerns.
Doris draws on a long background that began with a five-year postgraduate psychoanalytic training for child and adolescent psychotherapy. That early training led to decades of work in hospitals, schools, and mental health clinics, which shaped how she approaches family and parent-related concerns now.
Sessions emphasize careful listening and exploring attachment patterns that affect current relationships. She pays attention to family-of-origin issues and immigration-related stress when these show up in a person's life. She has experience with autism spectrum experiences and with the shifts that come during midlife and parenthood transitions.
Many people come for help with fatherhood issues, men's issues, or to manage the practical burdens of caregiving. Doris aims to help people develop clearer communication and steadier emotional coping so day-to-day household strains feel more manageable.
If English, Spanish, or French is preferred, she can speak in that language. For those considering work together, confirm session options before booking and follow the site's booking steps to schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Doris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on attachment patterns - this looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and communication, and it can help with intimacy and relationship stress. Another approach examines family-of-origin dynamics and communication patterns to identify repetitive problems and develop different ways to respond.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist talks with each person about their goals and challenges, and they decide collaboratively which techniques to try. That process can shift as needs change over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and parenting: they remove travel time, allow a quicker check-in on a lunch break, or let someone speak without needing a commute. If video is difficult, some therapists use phone check-ins for shorter updates. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions can match your daily routine.
