About Elisa

Elisa Parker is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who grounds her work in practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With six years of professional experience, she emphasizes clients' existing strengths and collaborates to create manageable steps toward clearer thinking and improved day-to-day functioning. Her style balances skill-building with compassionate support to help clients navigate change and build resilience.

Elisa draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor interventions to each person's goals.

She also brings additional experience addressing adoption and foster care matters, attachment and blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric issues, body image, cancer-related concerns, fertility and fatherhood issues, immigration and family of origin challenges, and responses to natural or human-caused disasters. Elisa welcomes international clients and offers multiple remote session formats to fit varied schedules.

She encourages people to take the first step when they are ready and works alongside them to develop practical, realistic strategies for lasting change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Elisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach often includes practical exercises and homework that fit easily into remote sessions. She also draws on the Gottman Method when addressing relationship concerns, focusing on communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding connection through structured conversations and concrete practice. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in her work as well, emphasizing clients' goals and small, achievable steps to create forward momentum.

Choosing the right method is collaborative; Elisa works with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best aligns with their goals and preferences. She tailors exercises and session pacing to what a client finds most helpful, and she reviews progress regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, which can be especially helpful for those managing anxiety, stress, or life transitions.
