About Justine

Justine Alemany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on clients coping with trauma, addiction, mood challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical experience working across school, inpatient, outpatient, residential, and advocacy settings, offering care for people affected by abuse, grief, substance use, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Justine communicates in both English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Her career began in school-based and adolescent inpatient contexts in Massachusetts, then expanded to outpatient and residential substance use treatment for adult women, and later to a Children's Advocacy Center where she worked with survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence.

Those roles shaped her emphasis on trauma-focused work and on helping clients develop practical coping skills, emotion regulation, and strategies for everyday functioning. She tailors interventions to each person's needs rather than relying on a single method.

Justine integrates client-centered principles with evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and motivational interviewing. She supports people navigating stress, addiction, identity and sexuality questions, family dynamics, and a range of mood and anxiety concerns, aiming to equip clients with tools and insight to move forward.

Evidence-based approaches for online trauma and mood care



Justine frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. She also applies EMDR for trauma-focused work, a structured method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on daily life. Both approaches are presented in an accessible way so clients can learn practical skills to manage emotions and respond differently to stressors.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she works with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in sessions. That exploration guides whether sessions emphasize skill-building with CBT, trauma processing with EMDR, or a blend of methods to match the person's progress and comfort.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow sessions to fit work, caregiving, and geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and access support from a licensed professional in Florida without needing to travel to an office.
