About Yomaris

Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Connecticut. She holds an LPC and brings 11 years of experience supporting people facing mood challenges and life stressors. She prefers to conduct sessions in Spanish but is also available in English.

Yomaris focuses on helping people build confidence and manage difficult emotions as they work toward clearer goals. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions often involve talking through current problems, learning practical skills, and trying new ways of handling stress or setbacks. Yomaris draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - to help clients act in line with their values.

Motivational Interviewing is sometimes part of the work when people need help finding momentum. She has experience with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. Additional areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain, communication problems, and divorce or separation.

The goal is to tailor sessions to the specific problem and the person’s pace. Therapy can be offered through different online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on your needs and her availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Yomaris commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them against real life, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood management. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people make choices that match what matters to them even when feelings are difficult.

She also brings Motivational Interviewing into conversations when clients want help finding reasons to change or to build momentum. That approach uses questions and reflection to strengthen motivation rather than pushing for quick fixes. Together these methods offer both skills work and values-based direction, and she will talk with each person to decide which mix fits their needs and goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions, try tools between meetings, and follow up without extra travel. The therapist and client collaborate on practical plans for sessions and homework so work continues between appointments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
