Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and brings 23 years of experience helping people cope with intense feelings and life changes. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, parenting strains, and anger.

She begins by listening to each person's story and figuring out what matters most to them. Sessions are tailored to the individual using a mix of methods rather than a single approach. That mix can include attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused work.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She focuses on respect, compassion, and validation while helping people learn skills to manage strong emotions and make practical changes. She also supports people facing career shifts, eating concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and issues related to adoption or attachment.

Dr. Myers has long experience with trauma, dissociation, domestic violence, and co-occurring conditions. She helps people work through abandonment and caregiver stress, codependency, control issues, and communication struggles. She also addresses mood disorders including bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation.

When someone is ready to begin, she listens first and then collaborates on a plan. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to handle anger and other emotions. To start, readers should use the site's Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to look at patterns formed in close relationships and practice new ways of relating in real time.

Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. In sessions the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, paced process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together they identify unhelpful thinking and test practical new strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Myers will discuss options and help decide what fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can shift over time as goals change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel. Many people find it helps maintain continuity during life changes and lets them apply skills between sessions in their everyday settings.
