Yelitza Gallimore, LCMHC

Yelitza Gallimore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on common concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and parenting challenges. Her style is gentle and encouraging, and she aims to help people find practical ways to feel more capable and steady.

She draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Yelitza adapts sessions to how each person learns and processes information rather than using one fixed method. This helps people build new habits and cope with stress in day-to-day life.

Many people seek her support for relationship and family issues, recovery from toxic relationships, eating and body-image concerns, and trauma-related symptoms such as dissociation. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related questions and those who identify as neurodiverse or highly sensitive.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and realistic steps. Sessions focus on talking through problems, practicing new thought and behavior patterns, and trying simple exercises that can make a difference between visits. Yelitza encourages clients to test small changes and notice what works.

She welcomes people who are ready to take active steps toward change and who want a therapist who listens without judgment. Prospective clients are invited to start by answering a short questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy centers on the person in the room and on listening without judgment. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions by focusing on their goals and strengths.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily habits that people want to shift.

Mindfulness therapy adds simple noticing and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can support people dealing with stress, overwhelm, and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they pick methods and pace that make sense for the client’s life.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, such as having shorter check-ins or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to use approaches like CBT homework, mindfulness practices, and skill coaching between sessions.
