About Elyse
Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a Florida LMHC with 23 years of clinical experience. She has a doctorate in clinical psychology and has worked across age groups treating mood and behavior concerns. Her stated areas include depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD among others.
She uses several psychotherapeutic approaches to address difficult patterns. In sessions she blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix is used to help people manage strong emotions, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and repair important relationships.
People come to her for a range of issues such as overwhelming stress, ongoing worry, problems with substance use, eating concerns, and reactions to trauma or abuse. She also lists work on codependency, attachment issues, abandonment, and blended family challenges. The focus is on understanding how past relationships shape current behavior and on building practical skills to cope day to day.
Her way of working is described as client-centered and psychodynamic in orientation, with attention to motivation and interpersonal patterns. Sessions include talking through recent problems, identifying patterns that keep causing pain, and practicing concrete strategies to respond differently. She also uses coaching elements when people face career or life transitions.

How sessions work
How her approaches map to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when worry about abandonment, codependency, or attachment issues drives behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for tolerating distress and regulating emotions when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change or new issues appear.
The profile does not specify session formats here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be squeezed into a work break or a phone-based conversation can reduce the need for video bandwidth. Therapists and licensed professionals use these practical formats to keep therapy consistent with daily schedules and to make regular progress without adding extra travel time.
