About Elisa
Elisa Dorrough-Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 23 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns adults bring from home - stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship and family issues, and problems with sleep or intimacy. The first paragraph should help a reader decide if they want to read on or click to book.
Elisa uses a direct, client-centered approach. She helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions. Meetings are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to strengths and what is already working.
Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health, private practice, and home health. That range has exposed her to many life situations and practical challenges people face at home and in caregiving roles.
Elisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape close relationships. She also uses mindfulness techniques to manage stress and Motivational Interviewing when people want help with addiction or behavior change.
Sessions often cover concrete skills such as communication, setting boundaries, coping with grief, managing mood swings, or planful steps for career or life transitions. Elisa can also support people dealing with aging and caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and family of origin issues.

How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. Online sessions using this approach are conversational and aim to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions that affect close relationships and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, preferences, and goals and will suggest which methods to use. That decision is made together and can change as work progresses.
The biography notes video sessions are helpful, and that phone and text communication are also used. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks, or caregiving duties. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone or text when a full video session is not practical. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises so they remain practical and useful in an online setting.
