Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a doctorate in clinical psychology and 23 years of work in behavioral health. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and navigate big life changes. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help people feel heard and more in control of day-to-day challenges.

She has long experience helping people with depression, addiction, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and parenting concerns. That background includes work with attention and mood differences, eating concerns, and issues tied to adoption, attachment, and blended family dynamics. The profile lists coping with life changes among her core focuses, and she uses that as a guiding theme in sessions.

Her approach mixes attachment-based and client-centered ways of working with cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. In practice this means she listens first, helps people name patterns that get in the way, and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. She combines talking through emotions with exercises to shift thoughts and behavior.

Sessions are tailored to the individual. She draws from interpersonal ideas and motivational strategies to meet specific needs. People who seek help for career stress, relationship communication, or trauma often find the focus is both on feeling understood and on making clear, doable changes.

Dr. Myers emphasizes respect, validation, and practical steps. When someone is ready to begin, she offers a supportive space to tell their story and work toward goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. It focuses on feeling understood and repairing connection, which can ease anxiety and relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear exercises to reduce worry, low mood, and problematic habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that help during stress and big life changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick or blend techniques that fit their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as needs evolve. This makes it easier to try different ways of working without committing to a single method up front.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy day, cut down travel time, and use focused skill-building between meetings. Some people find shorter check-ins help maintain momentum, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper work. The therapist helps match session length and pacing to everyday life and treatment goals.
