Yelitza Gallimore, LCMHC

Yelitza Gallimore is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship stress, PTSD, parenting challenges, ADHD and AuDHD, eating and body image issues, codependency, recovery from toxic relationships, family of origin wounds and childhood trauma, and LGBT-related matters. Her practice also includes work with psychological abuse, dissociation, high sensitivity, and neurodiverse processing styles.

Her communication style is gentle, encouraging, and nonjudgmental, and she emphasizes each person’s right to determine what feels right for them. Yelitza combines cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, trauma-focused and solution-focused methods, and client-centered principles to meet clients where they are. She also draws from somatic approaches and offers energy tapping (EFT) to help shift overwhelming feelings and unhelpful beliefs when appropriate. These tools are integrated and tailored to honor each person’s unique ways of processing information while building practical skills for greater resilience and wellbeing.

Yelitza encourages a collaborative pace, inviting openness to new perspectives while supporting clients in challenging old patterns and installing practices that foster a more empowered life. She recognizes the courage it takes to ask for support and aims to meet individuals where they are on their journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Yelitza

Yelitza uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, mood swings, and many everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach she employs - it focuses on creating an accepting, respectful space where the individual’s goals guide the work and the therapist adapts to the person’s pace and needs. Mindfulness Therapy is integrated to help people develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that support emotional regulation and clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yelitza works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each person. She will explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust plans as needed, partnering with clients to build practical, meaningful steps toward progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These modalities make ongoing work more accessible for people balancing caregiving, work, or geographic constraints, while preserving the relational aspects of therapy that support growth and change.
