About Elyse

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a Florida LMHC with 23 years of experience working in clinical settings. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and has spent more than two decades helping people manage problems such as depression, anxiety, addiction, anger, and life changes.

She has treated children, teens, and adults with emotional and behavioral challenges. She also addresses self-esteem, career stress, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related concerns. Her background includes work with attachment issues and blended family situations.

Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques support more helpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies help with emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.

Dr. Myers also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape responses to stress and anger. She uses elements from interpersonal work and motivational interviewing to strengthen communication and commitment to change. Sessions focus on what the person wants to work on and on small, usable steps between meetings.

Conversations are straightforward and focused on actionable skills. She aims to help people reduce reactivity, handle workplace frustration, repair relationship ruptures, and manage lingering resentment. The emphasis is on practical tools and clearer patterns, not on quick fixes.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Myers uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as part of her core work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change reactions. DBT provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive responses, which can be useful for anger and stress.

She also applies attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns affect reactions and communication. That perspective helps when a client wants to reduce resentment or improve how they respond to others. Choosing which approaches to focus on is collaborative; she will review your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to emphasize.

The profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation for immediate problem-solving.
