About Elyse

Background and approach
This mix helps people make changes and tolerate hard feelings when life feels overwhelming. Dr. Myers also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to build trust and safety in the room.
She listens without judgment and helps people name patterns that repeat in relationships and choices. That way practical steps can fit each person’s life and goals. Her background includes long-term work with depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.
She has treated many related issues such as body image, codependency, dissociation, and caregiver stress. Hundreds of clients over two decades have brought everyday problems and complex histories to her care. Sessions combine conversation, skill practice, and planning.
People leave with small, doable steps for coping with change, improving communication, and handling strong emotions. When someone is ready to try therapy, she focuses on respectful listening and collaborative problem solving.

Online support
How existential and practical therapies work online
Existential therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, purpose, and choice. In sessions it often involves talking about values, how life changes matter, and ways to live more intentionally. Attachment-based therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and early bonds, helping people notice how they connect and react with others and then try new ways of relating.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist offers empathic attention and reflection so the client can clarify goals and feel heard. Together the client and therapist decide which approaches to use, and the plan can shift as needs and goals change.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see each other for deeper conversation and expression. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing helps someone process thoughts.
The therapist works collaboratively to find the best fit for goals and preferences. That may mean mixing existential reflection with CBT skills or attachment-focused work, and adjusting session formats to match what feels most useful and practical.
