About Elise
Elise Derevjanik is a New York LMHC with 15 years of clinical experience. She sees people for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and addictions. She also supports people through pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, and pregnancy or infant loss.
Elise works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She uses conversation and evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and make day-to-day changes.
Her work draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and take values-based action. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she looks at relationship dynamics and emotional connection.
People often come for help with life transitions, coping with grief, or rebuilding routines after changes. She also supports those navigating blended household questions, parenting shifts, and fatherhood issues by talking through roles, expectations, and communication strategies.
Sessions include practical tools for mood, sleep, anger, and substance concerns alongside conversations about identity and self-worth. The focus is on clear steps and learning skills that fit everyday life. Elise asks clients to set goals together and checks progress as part of regular work.
How Elise uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce distress and improve sleep or mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current worries and communication, helping people rethink interactions and build steadier connections.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. That cooperation helps match practical tools to everyday challenges in a blended household or during parenting transitions.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent commuting. Therapists can use video to watch interactions and teach skills, or they may agree on phone or text check-ins for brief support when that suits daily life. Discuss format preferences during the first meeting to set up appointments that fit routines.
