About Elisa
Elisa Carlino is an LCSW licensed in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and ADHD. Elisa also lists family concerns including blended family issues, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, and career or life transitions.
Elisa draws on practical, skills-based methods in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns and shift unhelpful thinking. She also brings acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take small, manageable steps toward them.
Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship and family concerns. That means paying attention to how past relationships affect trust and closeness now. Mindfulness practices are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
She has worked in clinics, hospitals, and schools and has experience with young professionals, parents, and people navigating complex family roles. Elisa mentions job coaching and women’s health and reproductive concerns among the issues she has addressed in practice.
Sessions aim to be conversational and practical. Clients can expect a blend of problem-solving, skill teaching, and supportive feedback. Elisa speaks English and Italian and works with people who are managing life changes, blended household challenges, parenting strain, and related stressors.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while tolerating difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and communication and can help with closeness and conflict issues in family settings.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Elisa will discuss what feels most useful given a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as needed. The process is collaborative and aims to match exercises and conversations to what the client wants to accomplish.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue weekly work during life transitions and to use worksheets or brief practices between meetings to reinforce skills.
