Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers, LMHC

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with a doctorate in clinical psychology. She has 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other challenges. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel safer and more manageable. She draws from several methods to meet each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when useful. That mix lets her focus on feelings, relationships, and practical steps for change. Early in her career she worked with children, teens, and adults who had emotional or behavioral disorders. Over time she broadened her work to include concerns such as trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, eating and body image issues, and problems tied to adoption or attachment. She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, codependency, anger, and coping with life changes. Her manner is empathic and nonjudgmental. In sessions she listens, validates feelings, and helps people identify small, doable changes. She explains techniques in plain language and tailors them to each person's situation. If someone is ready to seek help, she encourages a straightforward first step: describe the main worry, try an approach, and adjust as needed. The goal is practical relief and clearer choices, not one-size-fits-all answers.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Myers often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships and early bonds shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust, and worry about loss. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities and encourages self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also make scheduling around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to what works best for each person's routine.
