About Jarely

Jarely Galeas is an LMHC and an LPC with ten years of clinical experience based in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, career uncertainty, grief, and the challenges of life transitions. Jarely also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, family problems, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Her style is interactive and client-centered. She works together with people to build a practical plan. That often means looking at thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and noticing what shifts in day-to-day life.

Jarely draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try new skills, and strengthen important relationships. Therapy conversations are straightforward and focused on what someone wants to change.

She often helps people tackle common early-adulthood pressures: starting a job, feeling behind peers, handling money stress, and navigating new relationships. She also supports those coping with family-origin issues, divorce and separation, and grief after losses. Sessions address both immediate coping and longer-term behavior shifts.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape interactions and can help people improve close relationships and repair recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to select strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and the real problems they bring. That means trying methods, checking progress, and adjusting the plan together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a day, allow a quicker check-in between commitments, and remove travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to homework between sessions, such as CBT exercises or ACT values work, which can be convenient to complete from home. Therapists commonly adapt session pacing and tools for a live remote conversation, helping people practice skills and bring changes into everyday life.
