About Yomaris

Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut. She uses both Spanish and English, and she prefers to hold sessions in Spanish when possible. She has eleven years of clinical experience and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood concerns, and motivation.

Her style centers on working together and honoring each person's strengths. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients name the patterns that get in the way. Sessions aim to build small, useful skills people can try between meetings.

Yomaris draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice thoughts and feelings, try different responses, and keep working toward valued goals. Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy also shape her way of listening and responding.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, trauma and grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and relationship or family stress. She also addresses issues like body image, attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and codependency.

Yomaris encourages practical steps and steady progress. She respects that starting therapy takes courage and works at a pace that fits each person's needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking action toward personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining techniques, trying a brief skill-focused plan, or slowing the pace when needed.

For practical matters, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives flexibility for people who prefer to meet from different locations at different times. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to work effectively in remote sessions, focusing on skills practice, values-based goals, and consistent support.
