How her approaches translate to online therapy
Elisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small, doable steps toward a more meaningful life. ACT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that align with what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that increase stress. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills for coping with mood, worry, and daily demands. Mindfulness techniques are often combined with these approaches to strengthen attention and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elisa will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process focused on matching methods to a person’s needs and preferences.
