Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers , LMHC

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and brings 23 years of clinical experience to her work. She has spent more than two decades supporting children, teens, and adults who struggle with emotional and behavioral disorders, helping people navigate concerns such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, low self-esteem, career challenges, addiction, and trauma.

Her clinical practice blends a psychodynamic orientation with practical skills-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal psychology, and motivational interviewing. She tailors each session to the individual, selecting techniques that match a person’s goals, history, and present needs. Dr. Myers emphasizes a respectful, compassionate, and validating stance; her style is emphatic and nonjudgmental, focused on creating an environment where clients can explore difficult feelings and build effective coping strategies.

She brings a sustained passion for mental health and a commitment to helping others feel better. When individuals take that first step toward change, she listens, supports, and works collaboratively to help them feel more empowered and able to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers integrates several evidence-informed methods to address a range of concerns in online therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment, and family or adoption-related challenges by promoting healthier connection and emotional regulation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, mood instability, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Myers works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access support from different locations while working with a therapist to meet your goals.
