About Yomaris
Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with 11 years of clinical experience. She prefers to conduct sessions in Spanish but also works in English. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and motivational struggles. She encourages people to recognize their own strengths as part of making changes.
She approaches sessions believing each person knows their story best. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can make daily life easier. She uses clear language and aims to make sessions direct and respectful.
In the room she combines several methods to match a person's needs. Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are used alongside client-centered principles to help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and connect with their values. Motivational Interviewing may be used to support readiness for change when goals feel stuck.
Yomaris has worked with a broad range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, career challenges, addictions, ADHD, and codependency. She also addresses more specific challenges like abandonment and attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and problems with emotional regulation.
She aims to make beginning therapy simple. The first sessions often focus on immediate coping strategies, understanding patterns that cause distress, and agreeing on small goals. She speaks both English and Spanish and will help set a pace that feels manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and can explore their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may mix approaches and will be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose times that work around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively by focusing on clear goals, homework between sessions, and regular check-ins about what is helping.
