About Yomaris
Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a bilingual licensed professional counselor working in Connecticut. She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. She prefers Spanish sessions but also conducts therapy in English.
Her work emphasizes listening first and building on each person's strengths. Yomaris focuses on practical ways to handle anger, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and bipolar mood patterns. She pays attention to how past hurts, attachment issues, and losses shape everyday reactions.
Background and approach
Conversations in sessions are straightforward and aimed at small, doable changes. Her approach mixes talk and action. She uses methods that help people notice their thoughts, identify patterns, and try new behaviors.
Sessions often include steps people can practice between meetings to test what works for them. Yomaris also supports people facing addiction, grief, relationship and communication problems, and career or parenting stress. She attends to overlapping issues like chronic illness, caregiving strain, or co-occurring conditions.
Those concerns are handled with clear goals and an eye toward improving daily functioning. People can expect a collaborative style where the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers tools tailored to the situation. Yomaris encourages clients to name their priorities and move at a pace that feels manageable.
She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the process as accessible as possible.
How her approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes feel overwhelming.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood; the therapist reflects and supports clients as they find their own answers. This approach suits people who need a steady, respectful space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and suggests practical experiments to test new patterns. It often helps with mood concerns, sleep problems, and problematic habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process evolves as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule care and keep momentum while working toward concrete changes.
