About Elisa

Elisa Stone is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who has spent eight years helping people navigate life transitions and mental health challenges. She combines practical strategies with a person-centered stance, emphasizing empathy and collaboration as clients identify goals, manage mood disorders, and strengthen communication.

Background and approach

Elisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to support changes in thinking, behavior, and daily routines. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, intimacy, and career direction.

Elisa highlights the role of lifestyle factors such as movement, sleep habits, nutrition, and social supports in sustaining emotional wellbeing. She frames mental health challenges as experiences that can be redirected into strengths when balanced with healthy practices and compassionate self-awareness.

In sessions she aims to meet people where they are, building a trusting therapeutic relationship that encourages growth and practical problem solving. Elisa’s style blends acceptance with active strategy development so clients can move toward clearer priorities, improved coping, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Elisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice small, measurable changes in behavior that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes empathy and the client’s own goals as the foundation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elisa treats it as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each person to determine which methods - thought-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, or solution-oriented strategies - fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is changing, to integrate brief check-ins or longer sessions, and to access a licensed professional from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
