Evidence-based approaches and online care
Elise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend assessment and practical skills work. One approach focuses on behavioral strategies to manage anxiety and stress through stepwise changes in routines, breathing, and activity planning. This helps reduce overwhelm and build predictable, manageable days.Another approach centers on skills coaching for ADHD and low self-esteem. That work emphasizes organization, time management, and small habit changes to boost functioning and confidence. It pairs short exercises with review of what worked between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep or change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
