Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers , LMHC

Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 23 years of experience helping people who are facing anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting strain, and the ups and downs of life. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioral strategies. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.

Dr. Myers has worked with concerns across a wide range: trauma and abuse, self-esteem and body image issues, mood disorders such as bipolar, ADHD, and eating concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

Her work often addresses relationship patterns, communication problems, codependency, and commitment or control issues. She draws on techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to help with strong emotions and on emotionally focused ideas to strengthen connections and attachment.

People can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative planning, and tools for coping with life changes. She describes her style as empathic and validating, offering listening and practical guidance to help people move toward goals.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on people’s close relationships and how early patterns shape current connections. It helps with fears of abandonment, attachment issues, and improving trust in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skill work. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit care into a busy life and to use different formats as needs change.
