About Yelitza
Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who practices in North Carolina. She brings 11 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship stress, trauma, and ADHD.
She emphasizes a gentle, encouraging, and nonjudgmental tone in sessions. She uses practical methods to help people manage symptoms and find clearer ways forward. Sessions focus on learning skills, trying small changes, and testing what works in daily life.
Background and approach
Yelitza adapts her approach to each person’s preferences and pace rather than applying a single method to everyone. Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral strategies that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She combines those with mindfulness practices that teach present-moment awareness and grounding.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want clear goals and step-by-step plans. Work with Yelitza often addresses family and parenting concerns alongside individual symptoms like anxiety, depression, eating issues, or addiction-related struggles. She also pays attention to attachment patterns, body image, and caregiver stress when those issues show up.
Her style aims to be practical, respectful, and collaborative. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients are accepted.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.
Online approaches that fit family and parenting needs
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering support that honors each person’s pace and values. This approach helps when people need space to sort out feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to change thinking patterns and build new habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect family life and parenting routines.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment and calm the body. These practices can reduce reactivity during conflicts and make parenting moments less overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. That makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to get support from home, during breaks, or while traveling, and they let people continue work consistently even when life is unpredictable.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
