Elisa Shevlin-Reynolds, LCSW

Elisa Shevlin-Reynolds is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career transitions. Sessions are focused on clear, practical steps rather than labels.

Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. She uses a mix of evidence-based methods to help people reduce reactivity, make decisions, and handle life changes. Conversations are conversational and goal-oriented, so people leave with concrete next steps.

Elisa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered ideas into sessions. That means she might help someone notice unhelpful thought patterns, practice skills for managing strong feelings, and clarify personal values to guide action. The approach is flexible and process-driven.

She also supports people dealing with family issues, blended family dynamics, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and separation or divorce. Practical problem solving and communication skills are common parts of sessions for these topics.

For people worried about anger - snapping at loved ones, building resentment, or trouble expressing frustration - Elisa offers pacing and skill practice to reduce escalation. She guides clients toward clearer choices rather than quick fixes. To begin, prospective clients pick an initial option through the platform and complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
