Elyse Bloch, LISW

Elyse Bloch is a licensed independent social worker with 24 years of counseling experience based in Ohio. She describes counseling as a flexible process and adapts her approach to match each person's needs. Elyse draws on a wide range of clinical experience, including work with domestic violence, childhood neglect and dependence, adoption issues, developmental disabilities across ages, addictions, adolescent conduct concerns, mental health disorders, and veterans' issues.

She favors practical strategies people can use between sessions. Elyse often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches when they fit a person’s goals.

Clients commonly bring stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, sleep or eating problems, parenting stress, burnout, ADHD, bipolar concerns, or the effects of trauma. Elyse aims to work at each person’s pace and to address both current pressures and past experiences that shape daily life.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters most, then offers clear steps to try between visits. The goal is to build coping skills and small changes that add up to better functioning.

People who want straightforward talk, concrete techniques, and a therapist who adapts methods to fit their situation may find this approach helpful. Elyse emphasizes making progress one step at a time.

How Elyse’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and sets the direction of work from their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, sleeping trouble, and problematic habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elyse works collaboratively to see which methods match someone’s goals and daily life. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full visit is not needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between sessions in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in virtual formats, and Elyse tailors assignments to each person’s routine and needs.
