Zamarys Webster

Zamarys Webster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of direct practice. She draws on broad experience supporting people through hard transitions. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she aims to listen closely while offering practical ways to manage stress and change.

Zamarys has worked with people recovering from substance use and those healing from traumatic experiences. Her background includes supporting individuals reintegrating after incarceration and helping people and their families cope with life-limiting illnesses and grief. She also has experience addressing anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, childhood trauma, and family discord.

Her counseling style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She describes herself as a "heart with ears" and focuses on creating a space where people can speak honestly about feeling overwhelmed. Sessions are tailored to each person since everyone processes emotions differently.

Practically, Zamarys uses a mix of approaches. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of existential and mindfulness work to help people find meaning and calm. Dialectical strategies are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

She often helps people facing parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction recovery, grief, and coping with life changes. Zamarys aims to walk alongside clients as they build coping skills, process difficult events, and plan the next steps in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and working at the client’s pace to address whatever feels most pressing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety. It offers specific strategies and exercises to change unhelpful habits and improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with practical tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Together the client and therapist will adjust the plan as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering sessions when attending in person is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these approaches online to teach skills, review exercises, and plan next steps in everyday situations.
