About Doris
Doris Benrey Boguslavsky is a Florida LMHC with forty years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. She works with adults navigating life transitions and everyday pressures.
Doris helps people untangle communication problems and manage feelings of isolation, guilt, and shame. She supports those dealing with divorce and separation, body image worries, and attachment patterns that complicate close relationships. Blended family issues are part of her practice, including the practical adjustments stepparents and parents face.
Her background includes a five-year postgraduate psychoanalytic program focused on child and adolescent psychotherapy. That training led to work in hospitals, schools, and community mental health clinics. Those settings added experience with parents, families, and group work.
Doris speaks English, Spanish, and French, and she welcomes people from different cultural backgrounds. She also has worked with immigration-related stresses, caregiver strain, and challenges linked to autism spectrum experiences.
In sessions she takes a person-centered, in-depth stance. Conversations explore patterns from family of origin and current relationships. Practical communication skills and clearer boundaries are common goals clients bring to their work together.
She is experienced supporting men and women through midlife transitions, fatherhood issues, and parenting changes. People choosing her often want steady, long-term support while they adjust to new household routines and relationship roles.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Two evidence-based directions inform her work. One is a psychodynamic approach that looks at long-standing patterns from family of origin and earlier relationships. This helps when recurring conflicts or attachment issues keep repeating in adult relationships. Another is skills-focused work that teaches concrete communication techniques and boundary-setting. That approach suits people who want practical tools to manage conflict and daily stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the work as needs change. Clients can expect discussion of what feels most useful and a shared plan for moving forward.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Licensed professionals can adapt methods used in person for remote sessions to focus on communication, problem-solving, and managing blended household challenges.
