Yelitza GallimoreLCMHC

Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on problems like depression, anxiety, parenting stress, and recovery from toxic relationships. She is known for a gentle, encouraging, and nonjudgmental communication style that aims to help people move forward at their own pace.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, PTSD, dissociation, and family of origin issues. She supports people dealing with ADHD and neurodiversity, eating and body-image concerns, and LGBT-related matters. She also helps with caregiver stress, first responder issues, and coping after disasters.

In sessions she mixes practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to build skills and identify small, useful steps. Motivational interviewing may be used to support change for people working on addictions or behavior shifts.

Her approach adapts to how each person processes information. She sometimes incorporates somatic ideas and energy tapping (EFT) to address overwhelming feelings and shift unhelpful beliefs. These techniques are offered as options rather than guarantees of specific outcomes.

Yelitza aims to honor each person’s values while encouraging new perspectives and sustainable habits. She invites people who are ready to try new practices to take gradual steps toward a life they can feel proud of.

Working online with client-centered and cognitive tools

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person as an individual. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects their experience, and supports choices that feel right. This approach helps people who need space to make meaning of parenting stress, identity questions, or life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and troubling thoughts, and is useful for parenting challenges and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Yelitza will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts techniques to how someone processes information and to the pace they prefer.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also remove the need to be away from home for an appointment, which may help people balance visits around childcare or work commitments.
