About Yelitza
Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 11 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can name what’s hard and start making practical changes.
Her listening style is gentle and nonjudgmental. She encourages clients to choose what feels right and to move at a comfortable pace. Sessions focus on building skills that help daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
Background and approach
Yelitza uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and somatic techniques. These methods are used to help with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns.
She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and family issues, addictions, eating and body-image concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and identity-related challenges for LGBT individuals. Additional focuses include attachment, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, dissociation, and recovery from psychological abuse. Sessions can include practical tools, grounding or body-based exercises, and goal-focused conversations.
The aim is steady progress you can notice in everyday situations. Yelitza meets clients where they are and helps them create safer, more hopeful routines.
How somatic and talk therapies work online
Somatic Therapy focuses on how the body holds stress and strong emotions. Online sessions can include gentle breathing, grounding, and guided movement to help reduce physical tension and regulate feelings. These practices often pair well with mindfulness techniques for calming the nervous system.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort through personal challenges and decide next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT sessions often use short exercises and practical homework to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood or coping skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits best with a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending body-based work with talk therapy and skill practice over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see and be seen, phone sessions are useful when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into daily routines.
