About Elisa
Elisa Carlino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 12 years of experience. She works with people managing anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and caregiving stress. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she accepts international clients.
Elisa has worked in clinics, hospitals, and schools, and has experience supporting young professionals, parents, and people across life stages. Her background includes career coaching and reproductive health concerns alongside mental health work. She uses straightforward tools and clear steps rather than long lectures.
Her style is conversational and practical. She aims to be a steady guide who suggests skills people can use right away. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and managing everyday pressures at home and work.
Elisa draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She combines techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas inform how she helps people understand relationship dynamics and closeness issues.
People can expect a collaborative process that looks at concrete problems and next steps. Elisa emphasizes learning tools that last beyond therapy and checks in on progress as goals change. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Elisa’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and keep living according to their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting decisions by focusing on actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be helpful with intimacy issues and family dynamics.Choosing the most useful approach is a collaborative process. Elisa will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods when something is not working or needs a different emphasis.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Online appointments can help people keep therapy during busy weeks, reduce travel time, and make it easier to include short progress check-ins between larger life events. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. A brief matching questionnaire and an initial scheduled session start the process.
