About Elisa

Elisa Dorrough-Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 23 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem problems, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career questions, and mood disorders among other concerns.

She uses a client-centered style that focuses on strengths. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Conversations tend to be direct and grounded in daily life. Elisa emphasizes clear steps people can take between meetings to practice new ways of managing hard moments.

Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health, private practice, and home health. That range informs how she helps people manage crises, follow up on treatment goals, and adjust plans as life changes. She draws on experience helping people with caregiving stress, attachment difficulties, codependency, and aging-related concerns.

Elisa integrates methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. In session she will use the approach that best helps with the problem at hand, whether that is changing unhelpful thoughts, improving emotional connection, or building motivation for recovery from substance issues.

She offers video sessions and also communicates by phone and text when needed. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, viewers are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Elisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift emotional patterns that affect close relationships and intimacy.

She also brings client-centered listening and motivational interviewing into online work. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what someone wants to change and builds small practical steps toward that change. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose which methods fit best for the issue and the client's goals.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days because they can join from different places and avoid travel time. Video sessions support visual contact and dialogue, while phone or text can be used for shorter check-ins or when video is not practical. Confirm the current session formats before booking to know which options are available.
