Elida Segrera, LMFT - Therapist in Florida

About Elida

Elida Segrera is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. She offers a warm, interactive counseling style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and the work centers on clear goals rather than labels.

With 15 years of experience, Elida brings steady support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also addresses parenting and family challenges, along with issues like job stress, intimacy-related problems, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in medical family therapy and a range of life transition situations. Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult stories, and solution-focused techniques keep sessions goal-oriented and practical. In sessions she aims to teach tools people can use between meetings. That may include communication skills, coping strategies for stress, or steps to manage grief and change.

She adapts techniques to each person’s needs while keeping sessions straightforward and actionable. People who prefer Spanish-language support can work with her in that language. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, so therapy can fit into busy schedules.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy lives

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist creates space for clients to describe what matters to them and then tailors the work to those priorities. This approach helps when people need a compassionate space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify patterns that increase stress or sadness. It offers simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. The Gottman Method brings practical communication and relationship skills into sessions, with clear techniques to improve how people talk and solve problems together.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic methods through these channels while adapting exercises and communication to the chosen format.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
