About Yomaris
Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a bilingual licensed counselor in Connecticut with 11 years of experience. She prefers to lead sessions in Spanish but also speaks English. Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety as well as mood and motivation concerns.
She helps people talk through worry, grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. She approaches sessions believing each person knows their story best. That viewpoint guides short-term goal setting and gentle skill building.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools to help people manage mood swings, improve sleep, and cope with life changes. Her style blends acceptance and action. She helps clients notice painful thoughts and decide what matters to them.
She also uses cognitive strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and shift behavior when needed. Yomaris draws on emotion-focused work to strengthen how people understand and express feelings. Motivational techniques are used when someone wants to build drive and follow through with change.
Together these methods support recovery from depression, bipolar symptoms, and addiction challenges. She also addresses practical concerns like parenting stress, career decisions, chronic illness, and relationship patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with space for processing emotion and practicing new skills.
Her bilingual ability helps Spanish speakers access therapy in their preferred language. To begin, she encourages a simple step: complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session. That first move helps match goals to an approach and start making small changes.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It is often used for anxiety, sleep trouble, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods that fit the person. Decisions about pacing, homework, and focus are made collaboratively so the plan matches daily life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins, momentary coping, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity while working toward their goals.
