About Elyse

Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to understand relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. Over 23 years in the field, she has supported people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, body image issues, and career stress. She also works with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, and complex mood or behavioral concerns.
Her background includes experience with adoption and foster care, abandonment, codependency, and caregiver stress. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. She listens without judgment and helps clients set concrete goals.
Practical strategies and emotion-focused conversations appear side by side in her approach so clients can both feel understood and practice change. She offers talk-based support for life transitions, relationship troubles, and challenges that affect daily functioning. Dr.
Myers aims to help people find more balance, clearer priorities, and better tools for coping with difficult situations.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early caregiving affects current bonds. Online sessions use conversation to identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating to close people. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In teletherapy CBT work, clients learn step-by-step skills and use online homework to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings in relationships and helps people name and shift emotional responses to create more stable connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then choose techniques together. That collaborative process helps match methods to what a person needs right now, and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging allows for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or continued support between sessions. These options give flexibility to use therapy in ways that fit a person's daily life.
