About Yomaris
Yomaris Ramos Rivera is a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut with eleven years of clinical experience. She is bilingual and can meet in Spanish or English, and she often prefers to conduct sessions in Spanish. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood challenges, addictions, and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that clients can use between meetings to notice progress and handle hard moments. Yomaris draws from several therapy styles to match what a person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take small steps toward them. Motivational interviewing is part of sessions when people are stuck or unsure about change. People come for a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood shifts, trauma and grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and relationship or communication issues.
She also addresses ADHD, chronic illness and pain, body image, and caregiver stress. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and short-term strategies while also attending to deeper life patterns. Yomaris aims to create a respectful, warm space where clients feel heard and guided.
She encourages small, manageable changes and celebrates progress along the way.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems by focusing on actions rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, mood, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as the client sees what works for them.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can allow quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style moments, or support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other life demands while keeping consistent progress.
