About Justine
Justine Alemany greets readers in a direct, practical way. She offers calm, focused help for people who are worried about anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, and the fallout from trauma. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, aimed at building everyday coping tools.
She speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida. Justine began her clinical work as a graduate intern in elementary schools in Boston. She then worked at an inpatient adolescent unit through UMASS Medical School, supporting young people experiencing severe mental health problems and their families.
Background and approach
After returning to Florida she worked in outpatient and residential substance use settings with adults, and later at a Children’s Advocacy Center where she served children, adolescents, and adults affected by trauma. Her practice focuses on trauma, life changes, and the common problems that follow such experiences.
She uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs, commonly using Trauma-Focused methods, EMDR, dialectical skills, and cognitive behavioral techniques. The work centers on teaching skills for emotion regulation, grounding, and day-to-day functioning. Justine holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) in Florida.
She has six years of experience in clinical settings that include schools, inpatient care, substance use treatment, and advocacy services for victims of abuse. Those backgrounds inform practical strategies she brings to sessions. People who choose her can expect a collaborative tone.
She helps set manageable goals, practices coping strategies in session, and tailors plans to real-life schedules and stressors. Her bilingual ability also lets her support Spanish-speaking clients when preferred.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and working at the person's own pace to identify goals and strengths. It helps people who need a steady, understanding space to talk through stress, identity questions, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches clear strategies for managing anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms by changing unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. It is often used for people struggling with post-traumatic stress, panic, or intrusive memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and choose or adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps match tools to daily life and personal priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be easier on low bandwidth or when camera use is not wanted, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
