About Justine Alemany
Justine Alemany is a bilingual clinician who provides therapy in English and Spanish and focuses on helping people work through trauma and major life transitions. She began her clinical training as a graduate intern at an elementary school in Boston, Massachusetts, where her early interest in supporting children expanded into work with other age groups. In her second year of training she completed an internship in Worcester, Massachusetts through UMASS Medical School at an inpatient hospital for adolescents with severe and persistent mental health conditions. Many of those adolescents had a history of trauma and abuse and long hospital stays, and she also supported families through counseling, psychoeducation, and practical guidance.
After returning to her home state of Florida, she worked in outpatient and residential substance use treatment for adults, spending two years supporting women managing substance use, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. In 2019 she began a longer-term role at a Children's Advocacy Center, where she has counseled children, adolescents, and adults impacted by various forms of trauma. Her clinical work commonly addresses sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, changes in life circumstances, and questions related to sexuality.
She practices with an eclectic, client-centered outlook, selecting approaches that fit each person rather than applying a single method to every case. She often uses trauma-focused modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and integrates skills-based strategies for coping and emotion regulation. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - CCTP - in the state of Florida, qualifications that reflect specialized training and clinical licensure to work with trauma and related conditions.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder whether counseling delivered online can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - remote therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care, and many clients find it an effective option for addressing these issues.One clear advantage is convenience. Individuals can connect with licensed professionals in whatever format works best for them: video sessions, telephone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limitations, or continue care from different locations.
Therapists generally bring the same professional skills and evidence-based approaches to remote work as they do in person, and clients may switch therapists if they are seeking a different therapeutic fit. For many people seeking accessible, skill-based support, online therapy is a practical way to begin or continue treatment with a licensed professional.
