About Elisa
Elisa Carlino is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support for depression, trauma, parenting concerns, ADHD, relationship strain, and grief. Elisa speaks English and Italian and practices from New York, drawing on twelve years of experience as a clinician.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She frames sessions like a conversation with a supportive guide. Clients learn tools they can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm, notice patterns, and make steady changes in behavior and thinking.
Background and approach
Elisa uses several evidence-based methods to tailor care to each person. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Motivational interviewing and attachment-based ideas also inform how she helps clients explore values and improve connection with others.
In session she focuses on clear goals and small experiments. For a parent, that might mean building short routines that reduce morning chaos. For someone dealing with anger, it could be practicing pause-and-breathe steps and testing new ways to speak up without escalating.
Her background includes work in clinics, hospitals, and schools, and she has supported people across many life stages. Elisa aims to make therapy practical, approachable, and useful for everyday challenges. If a different pace or focus is needed, she works with each person to adjust the plan over time.

How Elisa Brings Therapy Online with Practical Approaches
Elisa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful reactions and reduce symptoms.She also draws on mindfulness practices to teach simple attention and breathing exercises, and on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current responses. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Elisa will talk with each person about goals, try an approach, and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people work visually through exercises and keep a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick coaching, ongoing check-ins, and brief skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum when life feels hectic.
