Yaritza Pineiro

Yaritza Pineiro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who speaks English and Spanish. She works with adults and young adults and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, mood changes, and loneliness.

She uses practical, down-to-earth methods so conversations feel useful from the first session. Clients can expect calm, clear discussions about next steps rather than long lectures. Yaritza focuses on small, manageable goals that fit into real life.

Her background includes seven years working in mental health and addiction settings. That experience shapes how she supports people through grief, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She draws on a mix of evidence-based therapies to address mood disorders and panic symptoms.

In sessions she often blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness practices and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address trauma when appropriate. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people struggling with drug and alcohol use make changes.

Yaritza aims to meet each person where they are and move at a pace that feels right. She helps clients build skills for communication, self-care, and emotional regulation. Those who prefer Spanish may choose to speak in that language during sessions.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Many of Yaritza's approaches translate well to remote work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a therapy plan together, which helps shape goals that fit daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful for mood swings and self-harm concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. It also lets people continue therapy while managing work, school, or family responsibilities without promising a particular service.
