About Yelitza

Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship stress, parenting concerns, ADHD, eating issues, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports people navigating LGBT-related concerns and recovery from toxic relationships.

Her background includes extensive work with people who have faced psychological abuse, dissociation, and challenges related to high sensitivity or neurodiversity. She uses approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. These inform practical strategies for coping and change.

In sessions she keeps language direct and respectful while allowing clients to set pace and goals. Expect collaborative conversations that look at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments to test new ways of responding. She integrates mindfulness practices to help calm the body and attention when needed.

She also brings in motivational interviewing to help clarify values and sustain change, and solution-focused techniques to build short-term steps toward concrete goals. This combination often suits people facing life transitions, workplace stress, relationship strain, or the challenges of early adulthood.

Many people come for help with early adult concerns such as leaving home, first jobs, study pressures, identity, and feeling behind peers. Her work aims to identify realistic skills and habits that fit daily life. To begin, visitors can complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. It helps people clarify what matters to them and choose the next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and uses small experiments and skills practice to change them. These approaches are often used together to address anxiety, depression, and problems with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins during breaks. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral homework in real-life contexts between sessions, which helps transfer skills into daily routines.
