About Elisa
Elisa Carlino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She welcomes conversation about parenting, adoption and foster care concerns, relationship strains, ADHD, grief, and workplace transitions. Elisa communicates in English and Italian and works from New York.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to be a supportive guide who listens like a friend while teaching practical skills people can use long term. Sessions often focus on short-term goals, skill building, and improving day-to-day functioning rather than lengthy theory discussions.
Elisa blends a handful of evidence-informed approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
She has experience across clinics, hospitals, and schools and has worked with kids, teens, young professionals, parents, and families in varied settings. That background informs a flexible approach for people juggling multiple roles and responsibilities.
Elisa emphasizes practical tools like mindfulness exercises, problem-solving steps, and motivational interviewing techniques to support change. She encourages collaboration on goals and pacing so work feels doable. If you’re navigating adoption or foster care questions, parenting stress, or life transitions, she offers calm, hands-on support.
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and build small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people form healthier ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Elisa works collaboratively to identify goals and tries different techniques until something feels useful. She will check in about what’s working and adapt methods to fit your needs and preferences. The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, childcare, or medical care. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and makes it simpler to keep continuity of care during moves or travel. Licensed professionals can use a mix of teaching, guided practice, and coaching that works well over distance, and Elisa tailors those choices to each person’s situation.Areas of expertise
