About Yelitza
Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adolescents and adults on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, and stress. Her background includes work with parenting challenges, ADHD, eating issues, codependency, and LGBT-related concerns.
She uses a gentle and encouraging communication style. Sessions are nonjudgmental and paced to match what feels comfortable for each person. She helps people build practical skills and change unhelpful beliefs so they can feel more confident and steady in daily life.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also incorporates solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to set clear goals and take small steps toward them. These methods are used to address problems like relationship stress, trauma reactions, and trouble managing emotions.
She has worked with people who have experienced psychological abuse, dissociation, and family of origin issues stemming from childhood trauma. She also supports those dealing with recovery from toxic relationships and caregiver stress. Her work pays attention to neurodiversity and high sensitivity.
Yelitza emphasizes collaboration: she asks clients to try new perspectives and to practice skills between sessions. If someone is ready to take steps toward change, she offers steady support while tailoring the pace and tools to each person's needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for people to set the pace, name goals, and decide what feels useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries out new behaviors. It’s practical and often includes exercises to do between sessions that can be discussed online. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress; simple guided exercises are commonly used during sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means starting with a gentle check-in and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family life, shorten weekday commutes, and allow a session without needing extra travel time. It also lets people work on homework and exercises between meetings in their daily routines. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises like CBT worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
