About Elyse

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with a doctorate in clinical psychology. She brings 23 years of hands-on experience helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stuck.

Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she focuses on practical steps that clients can use between sessions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to strong feelings and attachment needs. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical behavior tools.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped to the person in front of her rather than a single manualized method. Dr. Myers has worked with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and parenting stress.

She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, body image, relationship communication, and job or life transitions. She pays particular attention to attachment concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family dynamics. Her style is empathic and nonjudgmental.

She aims to listen first, and then help clients identify small, useful changes. Many clients use her guidance for coping skills, emotion regulation, and decision-making when life feels chaotic. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

People who speak English and are located in Florida can connect with her by completing the online matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support

Emotion, attachment, and practical work online

Dr. Myers often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work through strong feelings and attachment needs. EFT is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns of disconnection repeat in relationships. She also relies on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence present behavior and to reshape patterns that cause distress.

She combines those approaches with client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals and perspective central. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - she will listen to your needs and preferences and help decide which methods fit best for your situation and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life.
