Elyse Bloch

Elyse Bloch is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 24 years of clinical experience. She draws on a wide range of approaches to help people manage strong emotions and life stressors. Her work has included long-term support across addictions, trauma, grief, and anger concerns.

She has clinical experience in domestic violence, childhood neglect and dependence, and adoption-related issues. Her background also includes work with developmental disabilities in youth and adults, adolescent conduct concerns, and veterans' issues. This range informs a flexible way of working rather than a single rigid method.

Elyse aims to match the counseling approach to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques appear in her practice when they fit the client's goals. She also uses CBT strategies tailored for sleep problems when insomnia is a factor.

Sessions focus on practical skills and steady progress. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, learn emotion-regulation tools, and build routines that support daily life. Work may include addressing relationship patterns, parenting strain, or stress from caregiving and chronic illness.

Her style is collaborative and paced to the client's comfort. Elyse emphasizes realistic steps that people can use between sessions to reduce distress and improve functioning over time.

How Elyse’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify goals and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal choices, which can be useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Elyse works collaboratively to test methods, adjust pacing, and pick tools that fit the client's goals and day-to-day life. That means starting with practical steps and changing course as progress and preferences become clearer.

The therapist's biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills between meetings in real time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to an online setting so clients continue skill practice and problem solving between sessions.
