Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a bilingual licensed counselor in Connecticut who brings a decade of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She prefers to conduct sessions in Spanish while also offering support in English, creating accessible care for speakers of both languages.

Her practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and anger, and on building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Yomaris approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for the strengths clients already possess to guide change and resilience.

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, and Yomaris acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out. She aims to create a respectful, strengths-based environment that helps clients move forward at a pace that fits their needs and goals.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Yomaris integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered principles into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a supportive space where clients' own insights and strengths drive progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yomaris works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. She treats clients as partners in deciding the best path forward.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from in-person options. These formats allow consistent contact, timely support between sessions when appropriate, and easier access to licensed professionals regardless of location.
