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 concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, eating issues, and family of origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Her style is described as gentle and encouraging, with a nonjudgmental way of talking through problems. She supports people who are processing childhood patterns, neurodiversity, and recovery from toxic relationships. Yelitza also works with people facing dissociation, psychological abuse, and LGBT-related concerns.

Her approach blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also uses solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to build concrete steps forward. Somatic ideas and energy tapping (EFT) are mentioned in her background as tools used to address overwhelming feelings.

In sessions she helps people notice how family roles and expectations still shape current choices and feelings. She focuses on practical skills, shifting unhelpful beliefs, and setting small, manageable habits. The work often includes talking through past patterns and trying new behaviors in day-to-day life.

People who prefer a steady, collaborative pace may find her way of working fits well. She invites clients to be active in setting goals and to test what helps them feel more able to carry out daily tasks. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions

Yelitza commonly integrates client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered methods focus on the person’s perspective and aim to make space for their priorities, which can help when untangling family expectations. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides straightforward tools for shifting patterns that cause distress.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and intense emotions that come up when revisiting childhood patterns. Throughout the work she uses a collaborative stance, helping clients test what methods fit best with their goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the therapist’s biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or allow for video or audio only options depending on what is offered. The therapist will work with each person to match approaches to practical needs and daily routines.
