About Yelitza
Yelitza Chaves is a bilingual therapist who speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with career strain, sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and money and financial issues. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and build on their existing strengths.
She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings a nonjudgmental, human perspective to sessions. She emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her style is collaborative: she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps set achievable goals.
Yelitza draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches guide conversations about thoughts, behaviors, motivation, and concrete problem solving. She blends techniques to fit each person rather than using a single method for everyone.
Her background includes work in private and community settings, crisis stabilization units, schools, outpatient services, and corporate wellbeing programs. She has 13 years of professional experience and holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, listed as LMHC.
People seeking support can expect clear communication and practical tools to try between sessions. She encourages small, consistent steps toward goals and checks in on what helps and what needs adjusting.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the client guides the topics. It helps people who want support in understanding their feelings and making choices that fit their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect moods. It uses clear steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and money-related stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may shift as needs change.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about available session types and scheduling when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to keep.
