About Elyse
Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life changes. She brings 23 years of clinical experience to sessions and uses a mix of practical approaches to match each person's needs. Her tone is empathetic and nonjudgmental, and she emphasizes respect and validation in the therapeutic relationship.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior approaches are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.
Dr. Myers began clinical work over two decades ago with children, teens, and adults who struggled with emotional and behavioral challenges. That experience informs how she tailors sessions for issues like depression, bipolar mood concerns, eating and body image issues, ADHD, and co-occurring disorders. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, abandonment, caregiver stress, and recovery from domestic violence or other trauma.
Her sessions aim to be collaborative. She listens first, then offers strategies that fit a person’s goals and daily life. People who want help with parenting stresses, career decisions, relationship communication, or managing intense emotions can explore practical steps together.
To begin, she asks prospective clients to share their story so she can recommend an approach that matches their situation. The emphasis is on steady progress and building skills that make day-to-day life more manageable.

How key therapy approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions. Online sessions can examine patterns in relationships and help people try different ways of connecting and responding. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-first stance where the person sets goals and the therapist reflects and supports those goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, compassionate space to talk through feelings and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and pick methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule during work breaks, or allowing a shorter check-in when time is limited. Online work also makes it possible to practice new skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation during appointments.
