Elyse Bloch

Elyse Bloch is a licensed independent social worker with 24 years of counseling experience. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges.

She draws on a broad clinical background that includes work with domestic violence, childhood neglect, adoption-related issues, developmental disabilities, addictions, adolescent conduct concerns, mental health disorders, and veterans' matters. That range informs how she tailors care to each person's situation.

Elyse believes therapy should follow the needs of the person, not the other way around. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she pairs those tools with mindfulness, narrative work, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches when useful.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and how the past affects daily life. Elyse helps people build coping skills, manage strong emotions, improve sleep and routines, and address relationship and parenting stresses. She also supports those facing medical or caregiver strains and complex life transitions.

Her style is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort. Elyse aims to help people set realistic goals, try small changes between sessions, and notice progress over time. To begin, she asks a few questions to match needs and then schedules sessions that fit the individual's rhythm.

How trauma-informed and behavioral approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy in Elyse's work focuses on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns, process difficult memories at their own pace, and build coping strategies to reduce day-to-day disruption.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance. Elyse uses this approach to create a space where people set goals, steer the pace, and feel heard as they work through problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then targets specific patterns to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with change.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Elyse will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. The focus online is the same as in person: practical tools, emotion regulation skills, and steady steps toward daily improvements.
