About Elise
Elise Derevjanik is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship problems, addictions, and perinatal issues including pregnancy and postpartum challenges.
She commonly helps people who are trying to adjust after becoming a parent, coping with fertility problems, or recovering from pregnancy or infant loss. She also supports those dealing with life transitions, grief, mood variations, and difficulties with sleep or self-esteem. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Elise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based approaches. Conversations include noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Work may include short exercises, behavior experiments, and skills practice to change daily habits that keep problems going.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She invites clients to set clear goals and track progress over time. Meetings are intended to be a place for direct problem-solving and skill building rather than long, unfocused discussion.
Clients can expect concrete tools for managing anxiety, coping with change, and improving communication. Elise draws on multiple methods when helpful, and she checks in about what is working as the work progresses. The emphasis is on practical change that fits into everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Elise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change patterns that cause distress. ACT emphasizes noticing what matters to you and committing to small actions that align with those values, which can help with motivation and life transitions.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions; this can help when communication or intimacy is a concern. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try, adjusting plans if something isn’t working.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping appointments without extra travel. Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins, practice skills between meetings, and include brief coaching-style check-ins when helpful.
