Jarely Galeas, LMHC, LPC

Jarely Galeas is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and career concerns. She also supports those coping with family issues, low self-esteem, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Jarely blends practical tools with a warm, interactive approach to make sessions feel approachable and useful.

She keeps sessions focused and collaborative. Jarely listens first, then helps clients set goals and build a simple plan. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy along with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Jarely draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people find workable steps forward. She often uses strength-based techniques to highlight what already helps, then adapts strategies to the person’s daily life. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Jarely encourages testing small changes between appointments and reflecting on what worked. She focuses on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, caregiving stress, blended family concerns, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Jarely is licensed in New York as an LMHC and also holds an LPC credential from Georgia. She offers counseling in English and Spanish and works with clients by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. The first steps are a short questionnaire and a conversation to plan scheduling and goals.

How Jarely’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy

Jarely frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT tends to be hands-on and goal-oriented, which works well in video or phone sessions where specific skills and homework can be reviewed together.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action. ACT can help when someone is navigating grief, life transitions, or persistent worry by shifting attention toward what matters most.

Client-centered work is another key part of her practice. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a collaborative plan with the person. Online formats allow the same conversational, supportive stance whether in a live conversation or ongoing text exchanges.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Jarely will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. She uses an initial conversation to outline options and tailor strategies together so clients feel involved in planning their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports short updates, between-session check-ins, or people who prefer writing over talking. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and try methods consistently.
