About Gali
Dr. Gali Yahav is a Nevada Psychologist (NV Psychologist PY0487) with 17 years of clinical experience. She offers psychotherapy for adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, mood problems and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew.
Dr. Yahav focuses on talk therapy that centers on the relationship between therapist and client. She uses that relationship to help people notice patterns in how they respond to stress and other emotions. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people practice different ways of handling strong feelings.
Her work draws on approaches that address trauma and how early relationships shape current reactions. She helps people who struggle with panic, post-traumatic stress, mood swings, sleep disruption, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, fatherhood questions, abandonment fears, and feelings of emptiness.
Where anger is a concern she helps clients explore triggers, patterns of control, and communication problems. The emphasis is on learning practical ways to recognize rising tension and respond differently in the moment. This can include small behavioral experiments and clearer communication techniques.
Starting therapy typically involves talking about current struggles and goals. From there she and the client decide which approaches to emphasize, such as cognitive behavioral techniques or trauma-focused work. The aim is to develop more effective ways to cope with life changes and difficult emotions.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Yahav uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach focuses on patterns in close relationships and how they affect trust, closeness, and responses to anger or fear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and respond differently to frustrating situations. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on present emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means talking through what feels most useful, trying approaches in session, and adjusting as progress and preferences emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue with regular appointments after a move or during life changes. Dr. Yahav will discuss practical arrangements and the best way to use the selected approach during the first appointment.
