Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers, LMHC

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who blends relational and skills-based work to help people facing trauma and other intense challenges. She draws on 23 years of experience to respond to depression, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and difficult life changes. Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental. She focuses on helping people feel heard and regain a sense of control.

In sessions she uses attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to slow down overwhelming feelings and make sense of painful experiences. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when people need concrete strategies for regulating emotion and staying present.

Dr. Myers has worked with children, teens, and adults across a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, body image, dissociation, and domestic violence. She pays attention to how relationships, early losses, and communication problems shape current struggles. That perspective often guides the goals and pace of work.

Her approach is collaborative. She tailors sessions to what each person needs, choosing tools that fit the moment and the individual. People can expect direct feedback, practical skills, and space to talk through painful memories.

She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and practices as an FL LMHC. When someone is ready to begin, she listens first, then helps map out next steps toward coping and recovery.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes the role of relationships in shaping how people feel and react. In practice this means talking about important relationships, noticing patterns that repeat, and building safer ways of connecting to others and to oneself. It can help with trauma, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors because it offers clear strategies people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issue at hand. That might mean combining attachment-informed conversation with CBT skill practice, or using emotionally-focused work when feelings are overwhelming.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also lets people continue momentum between visits with tools and check-ins tailored to everyday life.
