Jarely Galeas , LMHC, LPC

Jarely Galeas is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with life changes, career questions, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. Jarely works in English and Spanish and practices from New York where she combines practical tools with compassionate listening.

Her approach is interactive and down-to-earth. She focuses on short-term skills and real changes people can use between sessions. Jarely partners with each person to build a plan that fits their goals and daily life. Sessions include chances to notice patterns and practice new ways of responding.

She mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with a client-centered stance. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes while keeping the person’s perspective central. Motivational interviewing ideas are used to support commitment to change when people feel stuck.

Emotionally-focused work helps when relationship or attachment concerns come up. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to clarify values and move toward a meaningful life despite difficult feelings. Jarely draws from these methods to match what each person needs.

With ten years of experience and credentials as an LMHC and LPC, she aims to create a respectful, stigma-free space. People often come away with clearer next steps, better coping tools, and more confidence to handle life’s challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small steps toward them despite difficult emotions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where action matters more than perfect coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It gives practical exercises to try between sessions and tracks progress over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which blend of ACT, CBT, or emotionally-focused ideas fits best and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, noting progress, or when someone prefers writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different communication styles to see what works best.
