About Yelitza
Yelitza Chaves is a bilingual licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She speaks English and Spanish and offers a calm, practical way of working with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, sleep struggles, parenting concerns, and changes in life or career. She emphasizes the strengths a person already has and treats clients as the experts in their own story.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused work concentrates on small steps that lead to real improvements.
Chaves has over a decade of experience across private practice, community settings, schools, outpatient services, crisis stabilization units, and corporate wellbeing programs. That range informs a flexible style that adapts to busy lives and different stressors. She aims to support people without judgement and to help them build practical routines that improve rest and daily functioning.
Sessions are framed around clear goals and consistent follow-through. She often helps clients strengthen motivation, manage symptoms of depression or ADHD, repair communication patterns, and cope with caregiver strain or family-of-origin issues. The tone is collaborative and plainspoken - focused on what will feel helpful on a week-to-week basis.
To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. Chaves works with English and Spanish speakers and practices as an LMHC in Florida.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment, helping people clarify what matters to them and build on their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose or blend methods that fit. That process is collaborative and may change over time as goals evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools learned in sessions in their everyday routines, such as sleep habit changes, brief behavioral experiments, or coping skills practiced between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor the pace and structure to match real life demands, helping people try small, manageable steps that add up to better rest and clearer routines.
