Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Elisa uses a mix of evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that align with personal values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how they show up in current relationships, supporting work on intimacy, parenting, and family systems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Elisa works collaboratively with each person to determine what strategies best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to connect across distances. Working with licensed professionals in these formats can increase access to consistent, ongoing support while allowing clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
