About Elisa

Elisa Parker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with six years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Elisa also lists additional focus areas including blended family issues and a range of family and life transitions.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that affect mood and behavior. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build on what already works. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and relationship interactions.

Sessions emphasize clear steps and everyday strategies. Elisa helps people break down problems into manageable pieces. She talks through concrete tools for reducing stress and improving daily routines.

Elisa frames the client as the expert on their own life. She supports people in applying their strengths to current challenges. That includes situations like merging households, navigating loyalty conflicts, and adjusting to new parenting roles.

Her work is direct and focused on practical change. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and measurable steps between sessions. People interested in working together are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Elisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and changing everyday routines. She also draws on the Gottman Method to look at how partners communicate and to practice clearer interaction skills that reduce conflict. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term, practical goals and build on what is already working in someone’s life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose methods together. The process is collaborative and adjusts as goals change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people work on communication skills and daily routines from wherever they are located, while a licensed professional guides the plan and homework between sessions.
