About Elisa

Elisa Parker is a licensed mental health counselor who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She draws on approaches such as the Gottman Method and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients build clearer communication and steadier day-to-day coping.

Background and approach

Elisa emphasizes strengths and small steps that add up to real change. Elisa has six years of professional experience working with adults on self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions.

She also supports people facing ADHD challenges and those navigating adoption, fertility, or immigration-related concerns. Her background includes helping clients handle family of origin issues, blended family concerns, and the strain that follows separation or divorce.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills. That can mean breaking worries into manageable pieces, testing a different thought or behavior, or practicing a new way to talk about a problem.

She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build momentum toward change. The Gottman Method informs how she looks at communication and patterns between people, with simple tools to reduce conflict and improve understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more balanced perspectives. Elisa offers sessions from Florida and works in English.

She welcomes international clients and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online approaches that fit your life

Elisa blends the Gottman Method with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused techniques to address communication and everyday struggles. The Gottman Method offers practical tools to notice interaction patterns and try different ways of talking and listening, which can reduce repeated arguments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and practice small changes to thinking and behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on immediate goals and what works now, helping clients build quick momentum toward clearer routines and better coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback throughout treatment.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care fit into busy days. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support frequent, brief check-ins and homework between sessions. These formats make it easier to connect from different time zones and varied schedules, while keeping work focused on practical skills and steady progress.
