More about Elisa

  • 10 years' experience

  • LCSW

Hello! I would like to welcome you and congratulate you for taking an important step in caring for yourself. My 10 years of experience includes working with kids, teens, young professionals, parents and families. Along with online counseling, I have worked in a variety of settings consisting of clinics, hospitals and schools. I specialize in counseling for anxiety, depression, parenting, family systems, ADHD, trauma, job coaching and women’s health/reproduction.

When providing therapy to clients, I like to communicate as a supportive friend who can guide clients toward increasing their health, happiness and success within all their life roles, while also teaching clients how to master appropriate tools they can use for a lifetime. I understand your relationship with your therapist is extremely important with establishing rapport and trust, which is essential to me as well. Let’s work together and have fun along the way. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

After going through recent trauma, I was lost, depressed, and struggled with daily anxiety. Before starting on medication I thought I would try therapy first. Elisa brought me back to me. She is an active listener, offering advice and alternative solutions assisting with marriage, parenting, and everyday stresses. She was readily available, and on bad days I knew I could write her a message and she would respond within the hour. I am forever grateful for her kind, gentle, and real life approach

Elisa Carlino has been a positive ray of light in my life. I had previously jumped through a few therapists and none really felt like a good fit, but Elisa changed that for me. She has been incredibly helpful and easy to talk to. I feel as though she really hears what I am saying and I can turn to her with genuine problems, or to just rant about a bad day.

I am currently working with Elisa Carlino and she is fantastic. I am focused on building healthy boundaries and learning to express my needs in various relationships.
