About Yelitza

Yelitza Gallimore is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has supported adolescents and adults through a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image issues, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship and family difficulties, and LGBT-related matters. Her background also includes work with dissociation, codependency, caregiver stress, and other complex life stressors.

Her therapeutic manner is described as gentle, encouraging, and nonjudgmental, emphasizing each person’s autonomy in choosing what feels right. She blends client-centered listening with practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, and somatic approaches to help clients develop skills and find durable solutions.

Sessions are tailored to how each person processes information and to the practical goals they bring to therapy. Those who reach out can expect a collaborative process that balances pacing with invitations to try new perspectives and practices.

Yelitza accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats so clients can access care in ways that fit their schedules and needs.

Integrating therapeutic approaches through online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites exploration of the different parts that make up a person’s inner life, helping to understand internal conflicts and transform self-critical or protective parts into more balanced contributors to wellbeing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can support regulation of strong emotions and improve coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is typically collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt techniques and pace so sessions align with what the client hopes to achieve while honoring personal rhythms and readiness for change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to choose formats that suit daily life. These options help people maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are impractical.
