About Yomaris
Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor with eleven years of clinical experience based in Connecticut. She prefers to conduct sessions in Spanish but also meets with people in English. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, motivation, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationships, grief, sleeping problems, parenting concerns, career issues, life changes, and ADHD.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Background and approach
Yomaris listens, helps organize thoughts, and supports small steps toward change. Her background includes a range of approaches that fit different needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She blends client-centered work to keep sessions warm and collaborative. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients make choices that match values even when feelings are hard. Yomaris also draws on emotionally focused tools to improve communication and connection, and on motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence about change.
She adapts methods to what a person needs that week, whether that means coping skills for anxiety, pacing for bipolar mood shifts, or structure around ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. People who are looking for a bilingual counselor who speaks plainly and focuses on doable steps may find her approach a good fit.
Approach and online session options
Yomaris commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help when avoidance or worry gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions to build practical tools for anxiety, mood shifts, and sleep problems.She frames treatment as a collaborative process. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on how they work for each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make appointments more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting timely reminders and encouragement between longer sessions.
