I started BetterHelp when I couldn’t find in-person services due to COVID. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone who could help me. Boy was I wrong about that!! I worked with Elisa for almost a year (or just about a year) and when she met me, I was in a terrible place. She was there for me through it all and helped me grow to become the person I currently am and I couldn’t thank her enough!! She is hands down the best therapist I’ve had so far. I will miss working with her.
More about Elisa
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a LCSW, licensed in the state of Florida with 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I graduated from the University of South Florida with my Master's in Clinical Social work in 2000. I have a wide range of experience, working in various practice settings including: inpatient, outpatient community mental health, private practice, and home health. My counseling style is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe we all have the capacity for change and growth and it is my privilege to help motivated individuals in their journey toward self-improvement and growth. You can expect that I will treat you with compassion and non-judgment and be present with you as you work on your self-determined goals. Video sessions are immensely helpful to the therapeutic relationship, but I can communicate with you via text and phone as well. I believe it takes courage and strength to seek help to reach your goals. I am here for you on your journey. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Elisa is awesome! She helps me figure things out during this difficult time.
Elisa is a wonderful counselor. She has aloud me to see my situation for what it is and not for what has been portrayed. In this realization I have been able to come to terms with what is and what is not and been able to know what is and what is not.. Even though I still have things to work on this is a big step! Thank you Elisa.
This is my first time with BetterHelp and Elisa has been a great support during a time of uncertainty I have been struggling with. She helps provide a positive outlook and alternate pespectives with constructive suggestions to address he issues we discuss that were on my mind. Thank you Elisa!
Very understanding in my 2 sessions with her so far. Very calm and very friendly.
She has been wonderful! Just what I needed. Listens to me but also gives me tangible solutions.
Elisa is a very personable counsellor, one I know I can talk to without feeling forced into a realization or decision. Because of her, I am in a much better place.
