Yelitza Gallimore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 11 years of counseling experience working with adults on common struggles like anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Her approach aims to be calm and encouraging so people feel heard from the start.

She has supported people through trauma and abuse, eating and body-image concerns, and recovery from toxic relationships.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. She pairs those with mindfulness practices to help manage strong emotions. Her style is gentle and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on practical skills and small changes that add up.

Yelitza encourages collaboration about goals and pacing. She helps clients try new perspectives and build habits that support longer-term stability. The work often includes communication skills, coping strategies, and steps to reduce overwhelming symptoms.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform's process.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and supporting each person's own pace and choices; it helps people who need a calm, validating space to sort through feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, which can aid coping with trauma and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what the person feels comfortable using.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for ongoing work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy day or keep a running record of thoughts and progress. These options make it simple to continue steady work from different locations and schedules.
