About Elyse

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of experience offering respectful, empathetic care. She greets people with a straightforward, compassionate approach and focuses on helping them manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life challenges. She emphasizes listening first and tailoring support to each person's situation.

She draws on several therapy styles to meet individual needs, blending attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and practical cognitive-behavioral tools. Dialectical behavior strategies and emotionally focused methods are also part of her toolbox when useful. The aim is to match techniques to what a person needs right now rather than force a single method.

Her background includes long work with emotional and behavioral concerns across the lifespan. That experience informs how she helps people facing parenting struggles, caregiving stress, career issues, body image concerns, or the fallout of trauma and loss. She also supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster-related stress.

Sessions emphasize clear communication and building skills for managing strong emotions. She uses validation and practical exercises to help people gain control over anxiety, mood swings, and addictive patterns. Treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as progress is made.

People who reach out will find a calm, nonjudgmental clinician who focuses on empowerment. To begin, prospective clients complete an initial matching step and schedule a session based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape emotional responses. In practice she helps people notice patterns in close relationships and build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, offering concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, temperament, and the issues they want to address. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it easier to continue care after moving. Licensed professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools online, adapting exercises and skill practice to the session format so work continues between meetings.
