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 stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, ADHD, and eating issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Her practice focuses on practical steps and clear skills. She uses client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods. That means conversations that center the person's priorities, with tools to change thought patterns and attention practices to reduce overwhelm.
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to clarify goals and build small, doable changes. These methods are often paired with somatic ideas to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. Yelitza has worked with issues such as codependency, family of origin problems, dissociation, and recovery from toxic relationships.
People who seek her help might be facing caregiver stress, body image concerns, challenges related to autism or high sensitivity, or first responder issues. She describes a gentle and encouraging communication style and invites clients to set the pace for change. Therapy includes learning skills, testing new behaviors, and reviewing what works.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session formats before booking if you need a specific setup.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and values. Online sessions using this approach are conversational and follow what matters most to the client, making it useful for relationship stress and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. In virtual sessions this often means reviewing thought records, trying behavioral experiments between sessions, and practicing new responses to anxiety or depression.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention practices and simple grounding skills to reduce reactivity. Online meetings can include guided attention exercises and quick in-session practices to use during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit personal preferences, and adjust tools based on what helps most. This conversation guides whether more CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused work is emphasized.
Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine by reducing travel and allowing shorter or more flexible appointment times when needed.
