About Yelitza

Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adolescents and adults on worries such as depression, anxiety, relationship stress, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She also addresses trauma and abuse, eating issues, and LGBT-related concerns.

Gallimore uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try new ways of responding. Sessions include talking, learning specific coping steps, and experimenting with small changes between meetings.

Her background includes work with people recovering from psychological abuse and dissociation. She has supported those with codependency, family of origin issues, and neurodiversity-related struggles. She also helps people dealing with bipolar symptoms, grief, and major life transitions.

Therapeutic methods she draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools. She also uses somatic ideas when emotions feel stuck and may offer brief tools such as tapping for intense feelings.

Her style is described plainly in her practice as gentle and encouraging. She asks clients to try new perspectives and build practical skills over time. People who want a structured, practice-oriented approach to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning often find this way of working fits their needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Yelitza uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, teach practical coping skills, and set small experiments to try between sessions. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting what the client says. That helps clarify goals and keeps the work focused on what matters most to the person. Mindfulness practices are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress and strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean emphasizing CBT skill-building some weeks and mindfulness or motivational techniques in others.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, shorten commute time, or allow a check-in without camera use when that helps. Therapists work with clients to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life and promote steady skill practice.
