About Elisa

Elisa Geraci - Schoenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and dating concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also has experience supporting maternal and postpartum coping and issues related to aging and motivation.

Elisa keeps conversations direct and practical. She adjusts the pace and focus of sessions to fit what a person needs at the time. She aims to use clear goals and straightforward strategies rather than abstract language.

Her training began with a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Nevada and a Master of Social Work from UCLA. She completed her license while working at UCLA Medical Center, where clinical work formed a core part of her professional development.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, matched to the concern at hand. That might include short-term skill building for anxiety, focused problem-solving for stress, or work to rebuild confidence and motivation after a setback.

People who choose her can expect practical talk about daily life, relationships, and routines. She balances direct feedback with flexibility about how to proceed. To start, readers are encouraged to follow the booking steps on the site and complete the initial matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

BHow sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Elisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on immediate problems and skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve looking at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, and they often include homework or short exercises to practice between sessions. Behavioral activation focuses on increasing activity and routine to improve mood and motivation, which helps people who feel stuck or low energy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to test methods and adjust them based on progress, goals, and personal preferences. The plan evolves from session to session rather than being fixed at the start.

The listing does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when a brief conversation is helpful. Phone sessions may be useful when lower bandwidth or a less formal check-in is needed, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for discussions that benefit from visual cues. Regardless of format, the focus is on practical strategies that fit everyday life and goals.
