About Justine
Justine Alemany is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience based in Florida. She works with people facing trauma, addiction, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, and the stresses that come with life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and often supports clients who are navigating the effects of abuse, loss, or substance use.
She began clinical work as a graduate intern in an elementary school in Boston and then worked at an inpatient adolescent unit through UMASS Medical School. There she supported young people with trauma, severe mental health issues, and their families through counseling and psychoeducation. That early work shaped her interest in trauma-focused care.
After returning to Florida she worked in outpatient and residential substance use settings, primarily with adult women managing addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mood and anxiety disorders. In 2019 she moved into work at a Children’s Advocacy Center, where she has provided therapy to children, adolescents, and adults affected by sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief, and other traumatic events.
Her approach draws on several established methods rather than a single model. She commonly uses trauma-focused techniques alongside client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, EMDR elements, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to teach coping skills, improve emotion regulation, and address the practical problems that arrive after trauma.
Clients are offered straightforward, skills-based care aimed at managing symptoms and daily challenges. The therapist emphasizes practical tools and clear steps in sessions, helping people try different strategies to see what fits their needs best.
How her approaches are used in online care
Justine often uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR-informed trauma work in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set the pace and goals. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. EMDR-informed work uses structured processing techniques to address traumatic memories and the ways they affect current functioning.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work reflects their needs and comfort level.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. The therapist uses her clinical methods to teach skills and process trauma in ways that translate to remote sessions, and she will help clients pick the format and pace that best fit their routines.
