About Elyse
Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a Florida LMHC with 23 years of clinical experience. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and has spent more than two decades working with people who struggle with mood, behavior, and life transitions.
Dr. Myers helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, trauma, parenting strain, and career-related stress. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, eating issues, and challenges related to LGBT identity. Her practice includes attention to family and parenting matters such as blended family issues, attachment concerns, and adoption and foster care questions.
Her approach blends several methods so sessions are practical and focused. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at close relationships and patterns of connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach concrete skills for mood and behavior. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered perspectives shape how she listens and responds in sessions.
In a typical meeting she listens for patterns that keep problems going, then suggests small, testable changes. Sessions involve talking through current problems, practicing new coping strategies, and planning steps to reduce stress. She also integrates work on communication and commitment issues when those come up.
Dr. Myers has experience with complex presentations including co-morbidity, dissociation, domestic violence, and caregiver stress. People who start with her are offered a mix of skill work and deeper understanding of their relationships and histories.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions using attachment ideas help people identify repeated patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice simpler, concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment work, CBT, DBT skills, or a mix is best. That decision is based on the client's goals, the problems they bring, and what feels most useful in early meetings.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can cut travel time, let someone schedule a shorter check-in between obligations, or avoid needing to be on camera for the whole session. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to the practical needs of everyday life, helping people learn skills and try new ways of interacting without changing their routines.
