    About Yaritza

    Yaritza Pineiro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who speaks English and Spanish. She works with young adults and adults and brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions.

    Her style centers on practical, goal-focused conversations. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She pairs that with client-centered work that follows each person's pace and priorities.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

    Yaritza helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, self-esteem, and isolation or loneliness. Practical problem solving and clear, step-by-step skill work are common in her sessions.

    Sessions are offered from New York. People can expect direct, respectful conversation and collaborative planning focused on small, doable steps toward change.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on guiding conversations that help people clarify their own goals and motivation for change. Online sessions using this style often center on questions that draw out a client's values and next steps, which can work well over video or phone.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. In an online context this means the therapist mirrors concerns and supports what matters most to the person, whether that looks like problem solving or sitting with difficult feelings.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tries practical experiments to test new behaviors. CBT in remote sessions often includes brief homework, worksheets, and rehearsing skills between meetings.

    Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they like to work. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed so the sessions fit the person's needs.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit with busy schedules and fewer travel demands. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find that short, regular meetings and agreed homework make online work feel manageable and effective.
