About Gali

Dr. Gali Yahav centers her work on evidence-informed approaches with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral methods.

Background and approach

She brings 17 years of clinical experience as a Nevada licensed psychologist (NV Psychologist PY0487), helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship strains, and major life transitions. Her practice integrates practical skills training with deeper exploration of patterns that shape emotions and behavior.

Sessions draw on a mix of CBT, attachment-based perspectives, EMDR, and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate, tailored to each person’s history and goals. Dr.

Yahav frames psychotherapy as a collaborative process of self-discovery conducted within a respectful therapeutic relationship. She also addresses specific concerns such as panic attacks, sleeping difficulties, grief, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, and issues tied to family of origin and communication.

Fluent in English and Hebrew, she meets with clients from Nevada using multiple online formats. Dr.

Yahav’s approach balances structured interventions and reflective work to help clients build coping skills, process painful experiences, and pursue clearer life purpose and connection.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Yahav commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods to guide online sessions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and mood swings; it is practical and often skill-based. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing distressing memories and their impact on current functioning, helping clients reduce reactivity and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She works with each client to understand their history, current challenges, and goals, then recommends strategies and methods that fit their needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on progress and client preferences to ensure the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular sessions from home or elsewhere, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow practical follow-up between meetings when needed.
