About Yelitza
Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 11 years of experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach aims to be gentle and encouraging while helping people build practical skills for daily life.
She works with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and body image concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship or family stress.
Background and approach
Yelitza also supports people navigating LGBT-related challenges, caregiver strain, and the effects of childhood or family-of-origin problems. Her style is nonjudgmental and collaborative. She focuses on helping people notice patterns that get in the way and try small, manageable changes.
Sessions emphasize practical tools and clear steps rather than abstract theory. Yelitza blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness strategies. She uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change.
The aim is to match methods to each person’s needs and pace. People can expect conversations that respect their experience while also inviting new perspectives. Yelitza encourages clients to practice skills between sessions and to set goals that fit real life.
Many clients come for help with parenting challenges and emerge with clearer routines, communication tools, and ways to manage stress.

How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on your experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows your lead, helping you name what matters and decide next steps. This approach helps when you need a supportive space to sort feelings or weigh options.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In sessions you identify unhelpful patterns and try practical experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and behavior changes that feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That might mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT exercises and short solution-focused steps tailored to your situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you use visual cues and do guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make quick check-ins or journaling-style exchanges possible between longer sessions. These options help people fit care into busy lives and different schedules.
