Elisa Parker, LMHC

Elisa Parker is a Florida-licensed LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be leveraged to overcome current difficulties. Elisa works collaboratively to identify practical strategies and small, manageable changes that build confidence and foster long-term resilience.

Clients who work with Elisa can expect an encouraging, down-to-earth style that emphasizes motivation, improved communication, and clearer coping skills for life changes. She draws on evidence-informed methods to tailor interventions to each person’s goals, whether addressing day-to-day stressors, navigating relationship dynamics, or managing attention and focus challenges. Elisa aims to make the process of starting therapy feel brave yet approachable, offering steady support as clients take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Elisa also brings experience with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, aging and geriatric matters, body image, fertility and fatherhood issues, and other family of origin or immigration-related challenges. She accepts international clients and provides care in English.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Elisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Method techniques, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and it is often effective for managing anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for improving communication and emotional connection in relationships, helping couples navigate conflict and rebuild trust. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying goals and leveraging existing strengths to create concrete, achievable steps toward change, which can be particularly useful for motivation and coping during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Elisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions based on what is working and adjusts strategies over time so the plan reflects the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with Elisa offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
