About Yelitza
Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients.
Yelitza has experience helping people manage eating issues, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, body image and codependency, caregiver stress, and family of origin wounds. Her background includes work with dissociation and psychological abuse, and she has worked with clients who identify as neurodiverse.
Her style is client-centered and practical. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused work. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help with behavior change and recovery goals.
Sessions may include straightforward skill teaching, talk-based problem solving, and mindfulness practice. The therapist may also use somatic ideas to notice how the body responds, and she has used energy tapping (EFT) with clients to address intense feelings and unhelpful beliefs. She frames interventions as tools people can try and evaluate.
Yelitza asks clients to explore new perspectives while keeping a pace that suits them. She encourages active steps toward change and works with each person’s preferred ways of processing information. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches fit online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It helps when someone wants a space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings and teaches concrete skills to test new behaviors and beliefs. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and can help reduce reactivity to painful memories or shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which combination of methods suits their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for a while, adding mindfulness practice, or emphasizing motivational interviewing when behavior change is a priority.
