About Justine Alemany
Justine Alemany began her clinical work as a graduate intern in an elementary school in Boston, where early exposure to children's needs shaped a lasting interest in helping young people and families. She continued her training during a second-year internship at UMASS Medical School in Worcester, working on an inpatient unit for adolescents with severe and pervasive mental illnesses. There she treated adolescents with histories of trauma and abuse as well as conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety, and provided counseling and psychoeducation to family members.
Upon returning to her home state of Florida, she worked in outpatient and residential substance use settings, spending two years supporting adult women facing substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mood and anxiety conditions, including bipolar disorder. In 2019 she joined a Children's Advocacy Center, where she has provided services to children, adolescents, and adults affected by sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, life changes, and questions of sexuality.
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) - a clinical social work license for providing mental health services - and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in Florida, reflecting specialized training in trauma treatment. Justine uses an eclectic, client-focused approach and frequently relies on trauma-focused methods such as EMDR, TF-CBT, and DBT alongside other evidence-informed techniques. Her work emphasizes practical coping skills, emotion regulation, and tailored support to help people navigate trauma, addiction, grief, and significant life transitions.

Trauma-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Justine integrates several proven therapeutic approaches in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - this approach can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, often used for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Justine works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and will tailor or combine methods so treatment fits the individual rather than applying a single technique universally.
Online therapy with Justine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or travel and allow clients to choose the format that best supports engagement and progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
