About Amarilis

Amarilis Colon Berrios is a Florida psychologist with 15 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and issues with self-esteem. She supports clients facing addictions, anger, bipolar challenges, parenting stresses, and life transitions. She also works with concerns related to LGBT identity, family dynamics, and coping after loss or disaster.

Her style is practical and tailored. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and move at a comfortable pace.

Background and approach

She listens with sensitivity and aims to make therapy feel respectful and straightforward. Amarilis uses a mix of approaches to match the issue and the person. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment methods to build values-based action, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories.

She can also include motivational interviewing and client-centered work to increase motivation and build trust. She works with adults in Florida and offers services in English and Spanish. Over her career she has supported people through cancer-related distress, end-of-life concerns, veteran and first responder issues, fertility and hospice challenges, and questions about life purpose and aging.

Therapy sessions are available in several online formats. Amarilis guides clients through a straightforward plan and adapts methods to each person’s goals, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer work on life changes.

Online support

How therapy approaches come alive online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for worry, life transitions, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. It often uses short exercises that people can practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to help process traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided techniques to reduce distress around the memory.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Changes are usually gradual, and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and keep more of the feel of in-person sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, homework discussion, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
