Elyse Bloch, LISW

Elyse Bloch is a licensed independent social worker with 24 years of clinical practice in Ohio. She draws on long experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and other life disruptions. Elyse focuses on practical support and steady pace so people feel heard and can make day-to-day changes.

She adapts methods to each person's needs rather than following a single formula. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent starting point, and she also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches when they fit. That mix helps address sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, relationship concerns, ADHD, and coping with change.

Her background includes work with developmental disability concerns, adoption-related issues, and trauma and abuse, which inform how she frames safety, structure, and pacing in sessions. Elyse pays attention to how past events shape current patterns and helps people build new ways of responding.

Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and small steps people can try between meetings. She balances problem solving with listening so people can name what feels most important and then test practical strategies.

Elyse invites people to move at their own speed and to revisit goals as needed. The focus is on creating more manageable days and slowly rebuilding confidence and routine.

How Elyse’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and pacing so changes feel manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and behavior change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for stress, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elyse will talk with each person about goals and daily life, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist check in together and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate doing therapy remotely because it can fit into work breaks, avoid travel time, and make it easier to attend consistently. Online sessions also let the therapist teach skills, review homework, and troubleshoot real-time problems that come up between meetings.
