About Elisa
Elisa Stone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, grief, and life changes. Elisa also lists work with mood disorders and bipolar, and she offers support around career questions, self-esteem, anger, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love.
Her background blends several practical approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with emotion regulation and grounding. Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term goals and track small changes.
In sessions Elisa focuses on concrete skills and steps. She helps people identify patterns that increase stress and then tries alternative behaviors. Conversations include clear tools for managing mood, improving communication, and handling parenting or career pressures. She speaks plainly and offers exercises to practice between meetings.
Elisa describes therapy as collaborative. She listens to what is going wrong and what a person wants to change, then proposes experiments and tracks progress. Her approach is practical - aimed at clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better daily routines.
Sessions are conducted in English in Washington. Elisa holds an MA and the LMHC credential. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Elisa applies CBT and client-centered work online
Elisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be practiced between meetings and reviewed together. Client-centered therapy adds a listening approach that keeps the therapist focused on the person’s goals and experiences rather than a set script.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These practices are brief and concrete, and they are presented as tools people can use during stressful moments. Between CBT tasks and mindfulness practice, sessions aim to combine skills training with what the person finds most useful in daily life.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Elisa will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Online work lets the therapist and client track homework, review progress, and pivot quickly when something isn’t working.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings or phone calls when video is not convenient.
