How Elisa’s Approaches Work Online

Elisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on small, practical experiments and skills that can reduce worry and increase coping in daily life.

She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship concerns, using clear communication exercises and patterns analysis to improve interactions. That work often involves learning simple habits to practice between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears when short-term progress is a priority. This approach centers on setting specific goals and tracking small wins to build momentum quickly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elisa will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
