About Eloisa

Eloisa Duarte is a bilingual therapist who speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing stress, anxiety, family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She emphasizes clear, compassionate communication and creates a calm space for clients to talk through difficult feelings.

Eloisa makes room for honest conversation and practical next steps so parents and caregivers can focus on what matters most at home. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.

Background and approach

She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and practice small changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationships need repair, and EMDR may be offered for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

With 16 years of experience as an Ohio LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor - Eloisa draws on a range of tools depending on each person’s need. She listens first, then helps set simple goals people can work toward between sessions. Sessions can include skills practice, communication coaching, and guided reflection.

Parents and caregivers often come for help navigating family stress, separation, grief, or cultural and identity concerns. Eloisa aims to make therapy understandable and manageable, offering support in either English or Spanish. She meets people where they are and helps them move forward one step at a time.

To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and what a better home life would look like. From there she and the client shape a plan that fits family schedules and real-life demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit family life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking that keep stress and anxiety active and offers concrete skills to change those patterns and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eloisa will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try together. Decisions about techniques are collaborative so the plan fits family routines and personal comfort levels.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities. The variety of formats also lets people continue work between appointments through brief messages or chat when needed.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
