Elisa Carlino, LCSW

Elisa Carlino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 12 years of experience. She focuses on common and pressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Elisa draws on practical, skills-based work in sessions. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and acceptance-based methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build routines that fit daily life. She also uses attachment-informed approaches to look at how earlier relationships affect current struggles.

Her background includes work in clinics, hospitals, and schools. That experience shaped a direct, down-to-earth style that aims to make therapy feel like problem-solving rather than a lecture. Sessions often include concrete strategies, short exercises, and goal-focused conversations that clients can try between meetings.

People who come because of parenting strain, career stress, or transitions will find a focus on practical supports and coaching. Elisa helps with communication skills, managing emotional reactivity like anger, and coping with losses or major life changes. She works in English and Italian.

Elisa pays attention to how health, caregiving roles, and work demands affect daily functioning. She encourages clear steps and realistic plans so changes are sustainable. New clients are guided through a straightforward intake and goal-setting process to map what to work on first.
