She also integrates solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to support change and goal-directed progress, while maintaining a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s perspective and strengths. In addition, she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy used for processing traumatic memories.

Yaritza works with concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and difficulties related to identity and young adulthood. Her bilingual ability and broad clinical training enable her to support diverse clients navigating life transitions and complex emotional concerns.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy

Yaritza Pineiro uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. DBT can be particularly useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of self-harm or impulsive behavior.

Yaritza is trained in EMDR, a therapy that supports processing of distressing or traumatic memories when clients are ready to address them. EMDR can be considered as part of a gradual, collaborative plan for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yaritza works collaboratively with each person to match techniques to their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and scheduling. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect from home, during work breaks, or between appointments. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life while maintaining continuity with licensed professionals and therapists.
