About Elyse
Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with a doctorate in clinical psychology. She brings 23 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, and other challenges.
She speaks English and practices in formats that include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Her work focuses on practical, person-centered care. Sessions are tailored to each individual's needs and goals.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Dr. Myers also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Her approach emphasizes clear, down-to-earth strategies that can be used between sessions.
She blends these methods based on what helps a person feel safer and more capable. She has experience across many concerns, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, eating and body image issues, parenting strain, and relationship communication problems. She also works with people facing mood disorders, addiction, and life changes such as adoption or caregiver stress.
Her style is empathic and nonjudgmental. She aims to listen closely, validate feelings, and help people build skills to manage anxiety and other symptoms. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help a person notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. That makes it easy to set practical homework between video or phone sessions and track progress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills in straightforward steps, which can be practiced during text check-ins or reviewed in live sessions.Finding the right fit is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs adjustment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or coping notes between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while maintaining consistent support.
