About Elisa
Elisa Carlino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting questions, family of origin issues, trauma and grief. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she accepts international clients.
Elisa spent time in clinics, hospitals, and schools and has provided online counseling alongside in-person work. She often supports people who are juggling work, parenting, and caregiving responsibilities. She also addresses intimacy-related worries, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach mixes practical tools and talk. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are included to help slow down and build awareness in stressful moments.
Elisa also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and motivate change. Attachment-based ideas inform her work with people tracing patterns back to their family of origin. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes.
In sessions she aims to be direct and straightforward, like a guide who explains steps you can practice between meetings. She teaches coping skills and communication strategies. She also offers coaching-style support for career or role transitions.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and career or role decisions by making actions more purposeful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to test unhelpful beliefs and change behaviors that keep problems going, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they show up in adult life. It can help people recognize family-of-origin patterns that affect intimacy, communication, and trust.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where techniques are matched to needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and let someone avoid travel time so therapy can fit into a busy day.
