Zerly Justiniano

Zerly Justiniano is an LMFT with 20 years of professional experience in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Zerly speaks English and Spanish and approaches each person with respect for their story and strengths.

She believes the client is the expert on their life. In sessions she listens carefully and helps people name what matters and what gets in the way. That can mean talking through relationship patterns, processing a loss, or learning ways to handle anxiety and stress in daily life.

Her background includes two decades of work supporting people through trauma and abuse, and she also helps with issues like attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, and guilt or shame. She brings a practical focus to getting unstuck and finding clearer next steps.

Zerly also supports people facing workplace pressures, questions about life purpose, multicultural concerns, and issues often raised by young adults and women. Narcissism is listed among her focus areas and may come up when people describe difficult relationship dynamics.

To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical ways to change patterns and reduce distress. One common approach helps people identify and shift unhelpful relationship patterns by tracking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that repeat over time. This can be useful for conflicts, codependency, and dynamics that involve narcissistic traits in others.

Another approach emphasizes processing difficult experiences and trauma by pacing the conversation and giving people tools to manage strong emotions. That method supports work on grief, abuse, shame, and attachment wounds and aims to make upsetting memories less disruptive day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they will try techniques and adjust based on how well those methods are helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from varied locations. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins when needed, use audio-only sessions if video is difficult, and keep consistent care while balancing work and family demands.
