About Elise
Elise Derevjanik is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She welcomes people with warmth and compassion and focuses on practical steps to help them feel steadier day to day. Elise also helps those facing parenting concerns, fertility or perinatal challenges, and addiction-related struggles.
She favors an approach rooted in emotional connection and clear skills. Sessions are collaborative: clients and Elise set goals together and pick methods that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
She blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with acceptance, cognitive, and attachment-based ideas to address feelings, thoughts, and relationship patterns. Elise draws on work with people coping with grief, trauma, self-esteem issues, mood disorders, and career strain. She also supports people dealing with blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges tied to family of origin.
Practical tools for sleeping, eating, and managing anger are part of her toolbox. Therapy can include short-term coaching or deeper therapeutic work depending on what someone needs. Elise helps people weigh options and decide whether to focus on symptom relief, building new habits, or healing relational wounds.
She aims for sessions that feel human and doable. Based in New York, Elise conducts sessions in English and uses video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Her practice is subscription-based and can be canceled at any time, with scheduling guided by therapist availability.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Elise uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work through strong feelings that affect relationships and self-view. EFT focuses on moments of emotion in the session to shift how someone connects to their needs and to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking action guided by personal values to build a meaningful life. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by combining acceptance with practical behavior changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elise will discuss goals, try techniques in session, and adapt the plan as needs change. Many clients try a mix of emotion-focused work and skill-based exercises to both feel better and learn new ways of handling stress or relationship patterns.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls enable face-to-face interaction and emotion-focused work, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or medical appointments while keeping consistent therapeutic progress.
