Elyse Bloch , LISW

Elyse Bloch brings 24 years of counseling experience to individuals and families navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life adjustments. She approaches care with an eclectic stance, adapting methods to fit each person's needs rather than applying a single formula, and draws on a wide background that includes work with domestic violence survivors, childhood neglect and dependence, adoptions, developmental disabilities across the lifespan, addictions, adolescent conduct concerns, mental health disorders, and veteran issues.

Clinically, she favors cognitive behavioral strategies while also using specialized approaches such as CBT for insomnia, dialectical behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy for depression, mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy to address how past and present experiences shape daily functioning. Elyse emphasizes tailoring the counseling model to the consumer - selecting techniques that match the person, their goals, and the situation at hand. She holds the LISW credential - Licensed Independent Social Worker - and practices from an empathetic, collaborative stance, helping clients move through current stressors or process past trauma at a pace that feels right for them.

Based in Ohio, Elyse aims to support clients in creating more meaningful days and fostering hope for the future through practical, individualized work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elyse commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday concerns. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, often supporting clients facing intense emotions or chronic stress. Mindfulness-based practices are integrated to help clients build present-moment awareness, reduce rumination, and improve coping with intrusive thoughts and physical tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elyse works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as progress and challenges evolve.

Online therapy with Elyse can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from where a person lives, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor the format to the work being done.
