Elyse Bloch , LISW

Elyse Bloch brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work as a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW). She draws on a broad background that includes domestic violence, childhood neglect and dependence, adoption-related issues, developmental disabilities across youth and adulthood, addictions, adolescent conduct disorder, a range of mental health disorders, and concerns specific to veterans. Her practice emphasizes an eclectic, individualized approach so therapy is shaped around each person's needs rather than forcing a single model onto every case.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core framework while adapting techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy for Depression (ITP-D), mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy when they better serve the work. Elyse focuses on helping people navigate current stressors and process past trauma that affects how they relate to themselves and others. She works collaboratively at a pace that feels manageable to the client, aiming to build practical skills and clearer perspective to support meaningful change in daily life and relationships.

Elyse's long experience informs a compassionate, goal-oriented style that balances structure with responsiveness to each person’s story and strengths. She prioritizes tailoring interventions so clients receive approaches matched to their situation, values, and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead, honoring individual goals and pacing to build a trusting, supportive working relationship. This approach is useful for people seeking a respectful space to explore personal concerns and strengthen self-directed change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to shift them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many everyday stressors because it targets specific skills and coping tools.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be particularly helpful for people needing structured strategies to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elyse works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and treatment goals and adjusts methods as the work evolves so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging enable sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and access licensed professionals from locations that suit the client.
