About Elyse
Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers uses a blend of approaches to guide parents and caregivers through difficult moments. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, who practices in Florida and brings 23 years of clinical experience to sessions.
Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental and she focuses on helping people feel heard and understood. She sees a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and attention-related challenges.
Background and approach
Parenting and family topics are listed among her areas of focus, along with issues such as body image, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and adoption and foster care questions. She also works with mood concerns including bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Her clinical toolkit includes Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).
In practice she mixes these approaches to match each person’s needs and goals. Sessions combine practical skills with chances to talk through feelings and relationship patterns. People who reach out can expect a respectful, compassionate space where symptoms and everyday struggles are addressed directly.
Dr. Myers aims to help clients build skills for coping, improve communication, and find clearer paths forward. She supports problem-solving around career, parenting, and life transitions as needed.
Dr. Myers conducts work in English from Florida. Her stated background includes many years helping children, teens, and adults with emotional and behavioral concerns.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on meeting practical goals and making steady progress.
Online approaches that fit parenting and life stress
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and parenting patterns. It focuses on building safer, more connected relationships and can be useful when attachment, abandonment, or adoption issues are present.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to uncover what matters most and support clearer choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes and can produce concrete skills to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Myers will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals, symptoms, and preferences. That means adjusting methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to meet. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can combine talk and skills practice through these formats to support problem solving, parenting challenges, and emotional regulation.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
