Jarely Galeas, LMHC, LPC - Therapist in New York

About Jarely

Jarely Galeas is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She offers a warm, interactive approach that aims to make clients feel heard and respected. Jarely works in both English and Spanish and practices in New York.

Her style is practical and straightforward, focused on small steps that lead to real change. She begins by listening to what matters most and then builds a plan together with each person.

Background and approach

Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding. Jarely blends cognitive behavioral techniques with a strengths-oriented outlook to shift thoughts and patterns that get in the way. Over 10 years of clinical work inform her practice, and she uses a mix of approaches to match each situation.

Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward valued goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools are used when relationship and emotional bonding issues surface. Jarely pays attention to family-related concerns and common stresses like caregiver strain, blended family adjustments, and communication breakdowns.

She also addresses grief, career worries, and feelings of emptiness or shame. The goal is to develop coping skills that work day to day. Her sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth.

She aims for clients to leave with clear, doable steps they can try between meetings. Jarely describes herself as dedicated to offering steady support while people work toward healthier routines and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and life stress

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward those values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It provides concrete tools for shifting patterns that contribute to depression, worry, or low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
