About Yaritza
Yaritza Pineiro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers therapy in English and Spanish. She works with adults and young adults and has seven years of clinical experience. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people regain balance during hard times.
Yaritza mixes practical strategies with listening and validation. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered work to address symptoms and day-to-day challenges. She also incorporates EMDR and mindfulness methods when appropriate to help process painful memories and manage stress.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance use, trauma, grief, parenting stress, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem. She pays attention to communication difficulties and isolation as well as more specific issues like panic attacks and self-harm thoughts.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and skills people can use right away. That might include thought-behavior tools from CBT, emotion regulation skills from DBT, or mindfulness exercises to ease intense feelings. When trauma is central, EMDR may be part of the work to reduce distress tied to past events.
Her background includes work in mental health and addiction settings. This gives her practical experience with relapse prevention, motivational interviewing, and helping people navigate life transitions. She aims to meet each person where they are and tailor the work to their priorities.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and supports the client in setting goals and finding their own solutions. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through parenting stress, relationship worries, or life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and change routines that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms and adapts well to online sessions where homework and structured skill practice are shared.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear interpersonal skills. It helps when feelings become intense or lead to repeated conflicts or harmful coping. DBT skills can be taught and practiced in remote appointments and reinforced between meetings.
Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people meet from wherever they are. It also supports continuity of care during life transitions and can be an efficient way to practice skills between sessions.
