About Elise

Elise Derevjanik is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting and relationship challenges, and addictions. Elise also brings extensive experience in the perinatal period, supporting people through pregnancy and postpartum, assisting those who are trying to conceive or experiencing fertility challenges, and helping clients who have faced pregnancy or infant loss. She is particularly experienced in helping new parents adjust to changing roles and identities after the arrival of a child.

Elise approaches therapy with warmth, understanding, sensitivity, acceptance, and compassion. She frames the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, and she tailors goals and interventions to each person’s unique circumstances. Therapy is presented as a judgment-free space where clients can explore challenges, build coping skills, and work toward a more fulfilling life. Elise emphasizes encouragement and empowerment, recognizing the courage it takes to seek change and commit to personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care

Elise uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action - this approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also applies Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence present-day connection, communication, and parenting patterns, which can be useful for couples, families, and those working through adoption or attachment concerns. In addition, her client-centered work emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can shape goals that matter to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elise works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage in this work. These formats make it possible to schedule sessions around daily responsibilities, continue support during transitions, and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional who can guide coping, growth, and healing.
