Justine Alemany, LCSW

Justine Alemany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing trauma, addiction, mood difficulties, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she draws on several approaches to help people build practical coping skills.

She began as a graduate intern in an elementary school in Boston and then worked at an inpatient adolescent hospital through UMASS Medical School. There she supported young people with severe mental health needs and provided counseling and psychoeducation to families.

After returning to Florida, she practiced in outpatient and residential substance use settings serving adult women facing addiction and co-occurring mood and trauma-related conditions. In 2019 she joined a Children's Advocacy Center, where she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults affected by sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief, and other trauma-related concerns.

Her main focus is helping individuals who have experienced trauma and those coping with major life changes. She uses a mix of methods aimed at developing emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical behavior changes. That includes approaches aimed specifically at processing traumatic memories and reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life.

Justine frames therapy as a place to learn tools that people can use outside sessions. She emphasizes concrete skills for managing anger, impulsivity, anxiety, and substance-related urges. The work she does often combines short-term strategies with longer-term processing to reduce the impact of past harm and improve day-to-day functioning.
