About Justine
Justine Alemany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and anger. She speaks English and Spanish and often helps people who are coping with life changes or stress related to relationships and family matters.
She began her clinical work as a graduate intern in an elementary school in Boston, then worked with adolescents in an inpatient hospital through UMASS Medical School. There she supported young people with severe mental health needs and provided counseling and psychoeducation for their families.
After moving back to Florida she worked in outpatient and residential substance use services for adult women, focusing on addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mood disorders. In 2019 she shifted to a Children's Advocacy Center where she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults affected by various forms of trauma, including sexual abuse and domestic violence.
Her main focus is on people managing trauma and the everyday consequences of major life stress. She combines different methods rather than using a single approach. In practice that means teaching coping skills, emotion regulation techniques, and practical strategies people can use between sessions.
Justine favors trauma-focused methods and integrates approaches like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, trauma-focused cognitive work, and dialectical behavior strategies when appropriate. She frames therapy as a process of learning tools and applying them to real situations at home, work, and relationships.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Justine commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in online work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce distress and manage anger. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their intensity, which can lower reactivity in everyday situations.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when people need concrete strategies. DBT offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when frustration builds at work or home. These approaches are explained in simple terms and practiced together with clients so they can use them between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and what’s happening day to day. That often means trying a strategy, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan based on what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their normal routines without traveling to appointments.
