About Elyse

Elyse Bloch is a licensed independent social worker with 24 years of counseling experience in Ohio. She draws on long clinical work with people affected by domestic violence, neglect, addictions, and developmental disabilities. Elyse aims to meet people where they are and tailor care to each person's situation.

Her approach blends several methods rather than following one fixed model. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, dialectical skills, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work are tools she uses depending on the issue. She often pairs practical strategies with conversations about meaning and values.

Elyse helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with codependency, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, chronic illness, and major life changes. Her background includes work with adoption, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.

Sessions focus on clear goals and hands-on skills. Clients can expect guided problem solving, behavior-focused tasks, and opportunities to name difficult feelings. Elyse emphasizes steady progress at a comfortable pace rather than quick fixes.

She invites people to work together on daily challenges and longer-term patterns. The aim is to reduce distress, build coping skills, and create more satisfying relationships and routines. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy steps and schedule a time that fits your needs.

How Elyse’s Approaches Fit into Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on the person's goals and perspective. The therapist listens and follows what matters most to the client, then adapts methods to support those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses simple, active steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, often using step-by-step coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elyse will help an individual decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines approaches so people get both skill practice and space to understand their story. This process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the options available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support regular practice of CBT or DBT skills between meetings. Ask about current scheduling choices when you set up the first appointment.
