About Elyse

Elyse Daignault is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She brings 24 years of experience and a straightforward, down-to-earth style to sessions. Elyse blends practical strategies with a warm, sometimes humorous approach so serious topics feel more manageable.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift painful emotional patterns in relationships and close connections. Elyse also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break unhelpful thinking habits and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurt needs careful attention.

Background and approach

These methods are used to match what each person needs in the room. Clients often come for depression, grief, addiction concerns, body image and eating issues, or help coping with big life changes. Elyse has experience working with people who identify as LGBT and with those who have complex or longstanding mood and personality concerns.

She is familiar with issues such as panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive mood dysregulation. Sessions focus on clear tools and honest conversation. Elyse helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and notice what gets in the way.

She encourages direct talk about hard feelings while also keeping things grounded and practical. Elyse sees clients in Massachusetts and also accepts international clients. She conducts sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How Elyse’s Approaches Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change painful emotional patterns in close connections. Online sessions can use this work to map feelings, try new interaction strategies, and practice softer responses during conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It translates well to video work and messaging when you need quick tools and homework between sessions.

Elyse treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow real-time conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, brief coaching, or if someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping the focus on skill practice and emotional work rather than logistics.
