About Elyse
Elyse Daignault is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, mood disorders and relationship concerns, and lists blended family issues among her areas of focus. Her work also includes trauma, grief, addictions, and identity-related concerns for LGBT clients.
She takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. Elyse mixes straightforward conversation with occasional humor. She concentrates on what feels most pressing and works to make coping strategies useful in everyday life.
Her background includes long-term work with people who present complex and high-risk concerns. That has included mood disorders, self-harm histories, and personality disorder presentations. She has experience helping people manage panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and the aftermath of trauma.
Elyse uses cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on emotionally-focused methods to look at patterns in close relationships and trauma-focused work when past events are a main concern. Sessions are pragmatic and problem-focused rather than academic.
People often come for help with parenting stress, merging households, and co-parenting tensions after separation. Elyse helps individuals sort through practical problems, set clearer boundaries, and reduce day-to-day overwhelm. The emphasis is on actions that make routines and relationships easier to live with.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Before scheduling, clients choose an online therapy option, complete a short questionnaire, and then book a first session to begin.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people connect and respond in close relationships. It can help with recurring conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and understanding attachment patterns that affect blended households.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing past traumatic events and their ongoing effects. It uses structured techniques to reduce distress from traumatic memories and support safer ways of coping.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to start with. Adjustments are made over time if a different focus would help more.
