About Yaritza
Yaritza Pineiro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works in English and Spanish. She focuses on anxiety and stress along with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also helps people facing addiction, trauma, grief, and major life changes.
Yaritza combines practical talk therapy with skills training. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She brings dialectical behavior ideas to help regulate intense emotions and manage strong reactions.
Background and approach
Her background includes seven years in mental health and addiction settings. During that time she has supported young adults and adults through substance-related issues and emotional crises. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic goals.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and short-term tools alongside deeper processing when needed. She may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address traumatic memories and mindfulness strategies to reduce rumination. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change.
People who reach out can expect direct, plainspoken guidance and concrete homework between meetings. She frames treatment around daily life - work, relationships, parenting, and the habits that shape mood. Her bilingual skills allow her to offer care in English or Spanish to New York residents.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Yaritza often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in daily life. CBT is practical work that targets anxiety, panic, and mood problems by changing thinking patterns and habits.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can be useful for intense mood swings, self-harm urges, and relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and suggest exercises or tools that fit. Together they adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to move between quick check-ins and longer conversations and can fit into busy days. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or travel while continuing therapeutic work.
