About Zamarys

Zamarys Webster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of practice. She works from Florida and brings experience supporting people through addiction recovery, trauma, grief, and reintegration after incarceration. She also helps those facing serious illness and the family members who cope with loss and change.

Her approach feels warm and interactive. She aims to listen closely and respond with respect and sensitivity. She describes her stance as a "heart with ears" and focuses on meeting each person where they are.

Background and approach

Zamarys adapts therapy to the individual. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, among others, to build practical skills for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. She also uses client-centered and existential ideas to prioritize the person’s goals and values.

In sessions she helps people talk through relationship and family problems, parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, and patterns that come from family of origin. She supports clients facing life changes such as divorce, caregiving demands, or health challenges. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication are common goals.

Her work includes attention to addictions, grief, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem. She offers a collaborative space to figure out next steps, using techniques that fit each client’s pace and needs. Many clients find her mix of empathy and skill helpful when navigating hard transitions.

Approaches that guide online family and life work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supports them in choosing goals that matter to their life and family roles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and mood problems in place. It teaches concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping so people can try small changes between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving communication. It is useful when overwhelm, relationship conflict, or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zamarys will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust pace and techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people connect around work, caregiving, or busy family schedules and follow a plan that suits their day-to-day life. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent care and practical homework between meetings.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
