About Elia
Elia Ayuso is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress or anxious thoughts and those coping with grief, low mood, anger, or struggles with self-esteem. She listens with respect and sensitivity, and she adapts conversations to each person.
Sessions are practical and goal-minded. Elia works alongside people to identify small, doable changes and skills they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness exercises. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test them against real-life evidence, and learn simple attention and breathing practices to reduce distress. Elia also addresses related concerns such as attention and impulsivity challenges, body image, social anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and the strain of separation or divorce.
She pays attention to multicultural factors and how they affect daily life and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Elia helps each person shape a plan that fits their life and goals.
How CBT and Mindfulness work online
Elia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to see what really helps. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase calm, and it pairs well with CBT techniques.Deciding on the best approach is collaborative. Elia will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then adjust methods as progress is tracked. She views techniques as tools to test together rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions or choose a less formal way to stay connected. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while still working toward clear goals.
