How Elyse’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your lead. Elyse uses this approach to understand what matters most to you and to support your own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes between visits. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce stress and improve focus and mood; these can be practiced during short daily moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elyse will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines, then recommend methods to try. She adapts techniques over time, combining listening, thought-work, and practical exercises until a helpful fit emerges.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and allow continuity of care when meeting in person is not possible.
