About Yelitza

Yelitza Gallimore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 11 years of counseling experience working with adolescents and adults. Her background includes care for depression, anxiety, relationship stress, parenting challenges, ADHD and eating concerns. Her style is gentle, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. She centers the person's preferences and helps clients find practical steps that fit their life. Sessions focus on building skills, testing new perspectives, and making small changes that add up. She blends several approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused work are commonly used to address thinking patterns, present-moment coping, and concrete goals. Somatic ideas and energy tapping are sometimes included to help with intense emotions and to shift unhelpful beliefs. Yelitza has experience supporting people through trauma-related concerns, dissociation, and issues that come from family of origin or childhood experiences. She also works with people facing codependency, recovery from toxic relationships, and challenges tied to being neurodiverse or highly sensitive. She invites clients to move at a pace that feels right while encouraging openness to new perspectives and habits. The focus is on practical changes that lead to more confidence and a steadier daily life. If someone is ready to take steps and try different strategies, she offers collaborative support along the way.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. Online sessions let the therapist and client concentrate on the person's goals and pacing without forcing a rigid agenda.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include concrete exercises, thought records, and practice assignments that fit into everyday routines.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and calming practices. These techniques are adaptable to online sessions and can be practiced between meetings to reduce stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and homework assignments that integrate into daily life.
