About Elisandra
Elisandra Lopes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and speaks English and Portuguese.
Her work centers on practical conversations about what is happening now. She listens to a person's concerns, identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and outlines steps to try between sessions. She uses straightforward methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas.
Elisandra pays attention to how health problems, caregiving responsibilities, and aging affect daily life. She also supports people dealing with isolation, financial strain, communication problems, and grief from separation. When obsessive thoughts, panic, or self-harm are present she focuses on immediate coping strategies and safety planning.
Sessions include clear goals and measurable steps. People can expect to practice small changes and notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She uses mindfulness exercises to build attention and reduce overwhelm when helpful.
Her approach aims to make therapy concrete and manageable. She asks about cultural background and life context to make recommendations that fit each person's situation. To begin she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Elisandra uses CBT, client-centered, and mindfulness work online
Elisandra integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT-style homework and tracking are used to notice patterns and try different responses for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's concerns and values. That means listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person wants to address rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment attention and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and grounding practices are taught and practiced to help with overwhelm, chronic pain, and stress management.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT tasks, reflective listening, or mindfulness practice fits their goals and lifestyle. Treatment decisions are adjusted as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to join from a convenient location. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins, fewer technical demands, or the choice to keep the camera off when that helps engagement.
