Evidence-based approaches and online care

Elise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes skill building for emotion regulation and coping, teaching concrete strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and mood. This helps people handle daily triggers and improve routine functioning. Another approach focuses on structured coaching and goal setting, where sessions break larger goals into small, doable steps and track progress over time. This suits people who want hands-on plans and measurable change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elise will discuss options and collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans as people try techniques and report what helps or doesn’t help.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or when someone prefers written exchanges. These formats aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
