About Justine
Justine Alemany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing trauma, substance use challenges, grief, mood changes, and stress. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida. Her style aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people juggling busy lives.
She began as a graduate intern at an elementary school in Boston and later worked at an inpatient adolescent unit at UMASS Medical School in Worcester.
Background and approach
There she supported young people with severe mental health needs and provided counseling and education to family members. That early work shaped her focus on trauma and safety. After returning to Florida, she spent time in outpatient and residential substance use treatment for adult women.
She then joined a Children's Advocacy Center where she treated children, adolescents, and adults impacted by sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief, and other life changes. Those roles broadened her experience across age ranges and complex situations. Justine uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method.
She commonly uses trauma-focused tools, EMDR, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered therapy to build coping skills and emotion regulation. Sessions emphasize practical strategies that can be used between meetings. With six years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping individuals process traumatic events, manage anxiety and mood symptoms, address addictive behaviors, and navigate major life transitions.
Her work centers on clear communication, achievable goals, and developing skills that fit daily life.

How EMDR, DBT, and CBT can fit into online care
EMDR helps people process traumatic memories by guiding attention while recalling distressing events, which can reduce intense reactions and make everyday coping easier. It is commonly used for post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, and strong emotional memories.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills help with impulsivity, anger, and relationship stress and can be practiced between sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety, depression, and mood swings. It emphasizes short-term exercises and homework to build concrete changes over time.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and deeper processing. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging suit brief coaching, quick skill practice, or flexible check-ins during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into childcare, work, and travel schedules.
