About Elisa
Elisa Dorrough-Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and anger, along with depression and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice style is client-centered and strengths-based. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between appointments. Elisa uses plain, direct conversation to help people clarify what matters and set manageable goals.
She draws on several common therapy approaches to fit the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that keep frustration and low mood in place. Mindfulness techniques help with grounding and reducing reactive responses. Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work on close relationships and strong feelings.
Elisa has worked across inpatient, outpatient community mental health, private practice, and home health settings. That variety informs a flexible approach to everyday problems and long-running struggles alike. She expects active collaboration and practical effort from people who want change.
Sessions may include video, phone, or text communication as ways to keep progress moving. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy online to help people notice thoughts and habits that fuel anger and low mood. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and short homework tasks to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness exercises teach simple ways to calm the body and reduce immediate reactivity.She also brings Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas into remote sessions to address strong feelings in close relationships. That approach helps people name emotions, practice new responses, and try conversations differently. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process that depends on a person's goals, current stressors, and preferences.
Her biography notes video sessions as particularly helpful, and she can also communicate by phone or text. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. The therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions so they fit daily life and treatment goals.
