About Elisa
Elisa Carlino is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in New York with 12 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, parenting, ADHD, trauma and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, career shifts, caregiving strain, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she accepts international clients.
Elisa works in a direct, skills-focused way. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries alternative ways of responding that feel manageable.
Her background includes work in clinics, hospitals, and schools and experience with young people, parents, and early-career adults. That mix informs practical strategies for stress, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. She also brings experience supporting people through trauma, chronic illness, and complex family situations.
She describes her role as a guide who offers clear tools. Typical steps include identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and checking what works in daily life. Conversations focus on concrete problems and small experiments clients can try between sessions.
Elisa aims to build steady rapport while helping clients develop lasting skills for handling life changes and relationship strains. People who want direct, structured work on thoughts, behavior, and coping skills may find her approach useful.
How Elisa Uses CBT, ACT, and Attachment Ideas Online
Elisa often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on simple experiments and behavior changes that can reduce stress and anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build willingness to act despite difficult feelings. ACT can help when someone wants to keep moving toward meaningful goals while managing painful emotions. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and responses to loss or abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa discusses options with each person and chooses techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT exercises, ACT strategies, or attachment-focused work.
