About Elisa
Elisa Shevlin-Reynolds offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, relationship problems, trauma and compassion fatigue. She brings 22 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in New York and listens without judgment. She focuses on practical steps that can change daily life.
Her style is warm and straightforward. In sessions she focuses on what feels most urgent. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, build new coping skills, and try small experiments between meetings.
Background and approach
That work can cover self-esteem, anger, communication problems, commitment concerns, and dealing with loss. She also supports people handling chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and complicated family roles. Topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation, and eating or body-image struggles are addressed with attention to the whole person.
She uses different tools to match each concern rather than one fixed method. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and client-centered listening.
Sessions are adapted to each person’s goals and pace. Elisa aims to help people find clearer choices and steadier day-to-day routines. She supports practical problem solving around career changes, blended-family stress, separation and divorce, and coping with life transitions.
She encourages steady progress and realistic steps toward feeling better.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and find their own solutions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans as progress is made. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper discussion, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter focused check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep momentum during life transitions.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
