About Justine
Justine Alemany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. She speaks English and Spanish and seeks to make sessions straightforward and practical. Her goal is to give tools people can use between appointments.
She began as a graduate intern in schools and inpatient adolescent care in Massachusetts, working with young people who had experienced trauma, severe mood disorders, and long hospital stays.
Background and approach
That early work included counseling and education with families. After returning to Florida she worked in outpatient and residential substance use settings, supporting adult women with substance use challenges alongside mood and trauma symptoms. Later she joined a Children's Advocacy Center, providing care to children, adolescents, and adults affected by sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief, and major life changes.
Her approach blends several methods to match each person's needs instead of relying on one fixed model. She commonly uses trauma-focused strategies alongside cognitive and skills-based work to build emotion regulation and coping skills. Sessions focus on practical strategies that people can try between meetings.
Justine aims to work collaboratively, helping people set clear, usable goals and adapt techniques to their daily life. She frames therapy as a process of learning tools, practicing new responses, and tracking small changes over time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so people feel heard and can set their own goals; it is helpful for many concerns including stress, identity, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior and then practice small changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be useful for mood instability and impulsive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so the plan fits day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls when visual contact helps, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is a concern, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules and allow picking the format that feels most practical for each moment.
