About Elyse

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers brings 23 years of clinical experience to her work as a Florida-licensed mental health counselor.

Background and approach

She practices from a blend of evidence-informed methods, emphasizing attachment-based and client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, self-esteem, and ADHD. Her approach centers on understanding each person’s history and strengths to shape practical strategies for coping and growth.

Her practice has included a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, including parenting challenges, eating and body-image concerns, bipolar disorder, and complex trauma-related patterns like dissociation and attachment disruptions. Dr.

Myers describes her style as empathic and nonjudgmental, offering validation while helping clients build skills for emotion regulation and improved communication. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and frames therapy as a collaborative process tailored to individual needs.

Working in Florida with sessions available through multiple online formats, Dr. Myers integrates approaches such as DBT and EFT when useful and adjusts treatment plans to match client goals.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Integrating Attachment and Cognitive Behavioral Work Online

Dr. Myers often draws on attachment-based approaches and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns and early bonds to improve how people relate and regulate emotions, which can help with relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then tailor a mix of techniques that fits those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan remains aligned with what a client finds most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow clients to engage in skill-building, emotion-focused work, and problem-solving from locations that fit their schedules while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
