Elisa Dorrough-Ewing

Elisa Dorrough-Ewing is an LCSW licensed in Florida who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She brings 23 years of clinical experience to conversations about addictions, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and coping with caregiving or career concerns.

Her approach is grounded in a client-centered, strengths-based style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and build practical steps forward. Elisa aims to listen without judgment and to support people as they set and pursue their own goals.

Over two decades she has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health, private practice, and home health. That background gives her experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, substance concerns, and issues related to intimacy and family of origin.

In sessions she blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to suit each client. This mix helps with anxiety, anger management, motivation to change, and improving communication patterns.

Elisa emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional healing. People can expect clear, compassionate feedback, and tools they can use between sessions to manage symptoms and handle daily stressors.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Elisa integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective so they feel heard and respected, which helps with self-esteem, grief, and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix listening, skill teaching, and goal planning so the plan evolves with progress.

The profile notes video sessions as a primary option and also mentions phone and text communication. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter or more flexible check-ins, and reduce the time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver many of the same therapeutic tools used in person while helping clients apply strategies in their everyday routines.
