About Yaritza

Yaritza Pineiro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

She brings seven years of clinical experience supporting adults and young adults across mental health and addiction settings, drawing on CBT, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, and EMDR to address symptoms and build coping skills.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she frames treatment around each person's goals and life circumstances while offering tools for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, substance use, and trauma-related difficulties. Her practice emphasizes collaborative problem solving and skill development, from managing panic and depressive episodes to navigating grief, relationship challenges, and identity-related stressors.

Yaritza integrates mindfulness and emotion-regulation strategies alongside targeted interventions for communication problems, isolation, self-harm concerns, and self-esteem work. Located in New York, she tailors care to the individual's needs and helps clients strengthen resilience through structured therapy techniques and compassionate support.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Yaritza commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and goal-setting, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help with intense emotions, self-harm behaviors, and relationship or communication problems.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, acknowledging that the best therapeutic approach depends on each client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist explore which methods feel most helpful and may combine techniques from CBT, DBT, client-centered work, mindfulness, or EMDR as appropriate to address trauma, addictive behaviors, or other concerns.

Online therapy with Yaritza is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to attend sessions from different locations, fit appointments into busy schedules, and use shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed while working toward therapeutic goals with a licensed professional.
