Background and approach
She pairs that with cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot patterns that keep someone stuck and to try new responses. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help reduce reactivity and to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals and track progress over time.
Motivational interviewing appears when someone needs help deciding on a next step or finding internal motivation. Her work includes a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, addiction recovery, bipolar mood concerns, and parenting challenges. She also addresses attachment and family of origin issues, codependency, and communication difficulties.
Yelitza is queer-friendly and has experience with LGBT-related concerns. Therapy sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and learning style. She encourages a collaborative process that mixes practical exercises, skill practice, and gentle challenge.
People who want concrete tools and steady support may find her approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions and pace. This approach is useful when someone needs validation and steady support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions often include worksheets, behavior experiments, and homework to practice between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These short exercises can be guided during video calls or sent as audio prompts for practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust plans as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins or processing between appointments, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining regular contact with a licensed therapist.
