About Elisa

Elisa Frazier is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, mood changes, trauma, depression, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges. She presents a calm, steady presence and aims to help clients find usable tools for day-to-day life. Sessions are paced by the client so progress matches each person’s comfort and needs.

Elisa leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and change routines that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in respect and collaboration. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills come into play when emotions feel overwhelming and a clear skills plan is needed.

Her training includes both social work and clinical psychology at the master’s level, and she has practiced for about 10 years. That background gives her experience with mood conditions, anxiety, trauma, and anger-related struggles. She aims to meet people where they are and to move at a pace that feels manageable.

In sessions clients learn concrete coping techniques, communication strategies, and ways to shift daily habits. Elisa helps people build routines that support better sleep, clearer thinking, and calmer reactions. The goal is practical change that fits a real life schedule.

Work is offered from Florida and conducted in English. Elisa uses straightforward language and step-by-step skill practice so parents and busy adults can apply what they learn between sessions.

Practical approaches used in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing routines that keep problems going, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, making sessions collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That might mean using a mix of ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, continue care after a move, or check in between longer meetings. The practical aim is to deliver skills and strategies that people can use at home, at work, or in parenting moments when they are most needed.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
