About Elisa

Elisa describes the client as the expert on their own story and looks to build on strengths people already have. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping goals concrete and session work focused. Conversations tend to center on clear steps, skills to try between sessions, and ways to manage strong emotions when they arise.
Her background includes over a decade in behavioral health and leadership roles. She has served as a Southern Regional Clinical Director and Clinical Program Director, responsible for staff training, crisis intervention, and program compliance across regions. That work included program development, clinical supervision, and case management.
Elisa has experience working directly with survivors of trauma, people with behavioral challenges, incarcerated populations, and couples counseling. Her clinical oversight roles mean she is familiar with administrative and program-level aspects of behavioral health as well as direct therapy work.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, attention to communication skills, and practical strategies for relationship and self-esteem struggles.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Elisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and trauma-informed care. One common approach she applies emphasizes pacing and grounding exercises to help people manage intense emotions after trauma. This style teaches concrete strategies to reduce distress and increase capacity to engage in relationships. Another frequently used approach centers on communication skills training for relationship and intimacy issues. That work involves practicing clear statements, active listening techniques, and small behavioral experiments to change interaction patterns. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust methods as progress is tracked. The emphasis is on testing what helps and shifting course if needed to better match a person’s needs. Practical benefits of online work should be confirmed for this practice before booking. If online options are offered, they can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that focus on skills practice rather than longer clinic visits. Confirm which session formats are available when you schedule so you know how sessions will be conducted.Sheet 3
