About Elyse
Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem concerns, and family-related struggles including family of origin issues and parenting concerns. Sessions address practical problems and everyday coping needs as presented by each person.
Dr. Myers draws on several therapy approaches while keeping the focus on what matters now. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that began in childhood. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift thinking that gets in the way. Dialectical behavior strategies help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and co-occurring conditions. She has worked with people managing career stress, body image and eating issues, abandonment or adoption-related questions, and caregiver strain. This experience informs practical ways to handle recurring patterns from the family someone grew up in.
In sessions she combines listening with concrete skills practice. That may include checking unhelpful thoughts, trying new communication moves, or building emotion-regulation tools. Sessions also look at how earlier relationships influence current choices and expectations.
People can expect a straightforward approach that balances reflection with skills. The therapist supports exploring difficult topics such as dissociation, domestic violence histories, or trauma when they are part of the picture, and works to help clients manage symptoms and daily demands. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial visit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. It helps people understand why certain behaviors repeat in close relationships and can be useful for addressing family of origin issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which combination of methods to try. That collaborative planning helps set clear steps and check progress as you go.
