About Elyse
Elyse Bloch is a licensed independent social worker with 24 years of counseling experience. She brings decades of hands-on clinical work to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. Elyse writes treatment plans to fit each person’s situation and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She has worked across many settings, including cases involving domestic violence, neglect, adoption, developmental disabilities, addiction, and veteran-related concerns.
Background and approach
That background informs how she spots patterns and builds recovery strategies. She leans on evidence-based methods while adapting to what the person needs in the moment. Elyse commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions.
She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit when people need grounding or help making changes. In sessions, Elyse aims for a straightforward, paced approach.
She invites people to set goals and move at their own speed. Conversations tend to focus on problem-solving, learning coping skills, and improving day-to-day functioning. Her work includes concerns like parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, relationship and communication problems, ADHD, bipolar, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and life transitions.
Elyse practices in Ohio as an LISW and offers sessions in English.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions. It’s useful when someone needs support sorting values, goals, or day-to-day decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds specific skills for tolerating distress and managing intense emotions, which helps when stress leads to strong reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range makes it easier to keep regular contact, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and use shorter check-ins when helpful. These options let people use real therapeutic tools and skills without always traveling to an office.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
