About Justine
Justine Alemany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish. She works primarily with people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, mood disorders, and stress related to life changes.
She began as a graduate intern in an elementary school in Boston. Her next internship was at UMASS Medical School in Worcester, working on an inpatient adolescent unit with long-term placements and complex trauma. Those roles included direct treatment and family-focused education and support.
After returning to Florida she worked in outpatient and residential substance use settings, supporting adult women with substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. In 2019 she moved into a Children's Advocacy Center, where she has provided services to children, adolescents, and adults affected by sexual abuse and domestic violence.
Her day-to-day practice focuses on trauma and on helping people manage big life changes. She uses a mix of approaches so people can learn coping skills and emotion regulation that apply to everyday situations. EMDR and trauma-focused techniques are among the approaches she draws on often.
Clients can expect practical, skills-oriented work aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Justine combines short-term strategies like motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques with longer trauma-focused work when needed.
BHow sessions work
How her online approaches fit trauma and mood work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experiences, letting the therapist follow the client's lead while offering reflection and practical guidance. It helps when someone needs a respectful, steady place to talk through stressors and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that increase distress and teaches concrete strategies to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and many everyday problems that affect work and family life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional impact. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Ask which session types are currently offered and what works best for your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work breaks, or travel, and some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations depending on the method and the client's needs.
