About Elisa
Elisa Parker is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience helping people who feel stuck after change. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Elisa also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, aging issues, attachment concerns, and blended family matters.
Her approach is practical and focused on what you can do between sessions. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship communication and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals.
In sessions she listens for strengths clients can use right away. Conversations tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with clear steps to practice between meetings. She helps people sharpen communication, manage worries, and try new ways of handling transitions.
Elisa works with issues that touch parenting roles, family of origin problems, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and health-related stress such as cancer or aging. She also addresses immigration and disaster-related coping when these affect daily life.
People who choose her often want practical tools and steady feedback. To start, she asks about current challenges and what a better week would look like. From there she and the client pick a few concrete actions to try before the next session.
How Elisa uses CBT, Gottman, and Solution-Focused work online
Elisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that increase worry and to test small behavior changes that can reduce stress. CBT sessions often include specific exercises and homework that fit into daily life.The Gottman Method is used to improve communication and problem-solving between partners. In practice this means teaching simple interaction skills and rehearsing clearer ways to bring up hard topics.
Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term planning by naming a desired next step and identifying immediate actions to get there. It is useful when someone wants quick, practical momentum after a job change, separation, or health event.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what the client finds most useful. That collaborative decision is revisited as needs change.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, use a shorter check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication coaching, and short homework tasks to remote formats so clients can apply skills between sessions.
