Dr. Gali Yahav, NV Psychologist PY0487

About Gali

Dr. Gali Yahav uses a relationship-focused approach rooted in attachment work and trauma therapies to guide parents and caregivers through stressful times. She is a Nevada-licensed psychologist, NV Psychologist PY0487, and brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions.

Her way of working is direct and practical, with clear tools to manage anxiety, mood shifts, and sleep problems. Dr. Yahav helps people talk through pain from past wounds as well as current struggles.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and EMDR to address traumatic memories when needed. Sessions are paced to the client - sometimes skill-building is the focus and sometimes deeper processing is needed. Many clients come for help with relationships, family tensions, grief, or feelings of emptiness and shame.

She also supports people facing panic, bipolar mood swings, and anger. Conversations include concrete steps for communication, managing strong emotions, and improving daily routines like sleep. Dr.

Yahav offers therapy in English and Hebrew for adults. Appointments can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, depending on what fits a client's life. She does not accept international clients and practices in Nevada.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. The work is collaborative - she and the client set goals together and track progress over time.

Online approaches that address attachment and trauma

Dr. Yahav commonly uses attachment-based work and EMDR alongside cognitive behavioral tools. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication, which can help people stuck in repeating cycles with partners or family. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps process traumatic memories by reducing the intensity of distressing images and feelings over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize skills, trauma processing, or attachment-focused exploration, and the plan can change as work progresses.

Online sessions allow the same therapeutic methods to be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets chaotic. Many people find virtual options helpful for trying out different tools, practicing communication skills in real time, and maintaining progress between appointments.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
