About Elyse
Elyse Bloch is a licensed independent social worker with 24 years of clinical experience in Ohio. She has worked across a variety of settings and across many concerns, and she centers care on the individual who comes to therapy.
Elyse aims to create a steady, practical space where people can talk through what is hardest right now and learn clearer ways to cope. She has experience with addiction, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, anxiety, grief, and stress.
How Elyse works
Elyse also commonly addresses sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and challenges with self-esteem and anger. Her background includes work related to adoption and foster care, developmental disabilities, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues that arise from relationship breakdowns. Elyse uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method.
She frequently draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also brings in dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices to build emotional regulation and present-moment coping. In sessions she works at each person’s pace and adjusts strategies to fit real life.
The focus is on practical steps - small changes that reduce daily stress and improve sleep, mood, or relationships. Conversations are plainspoken and grounded in real situations. Her clinical work reflects many years helping people manage life transitions, addiction, and the long reach of past trauma.
Elyse offers options for people who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit different schedules and needs.

How Elyse Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps set goals that feel realistic and meaningful. This approach helps when someone needs steady support through a difficult period.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Online CBT often includes practical exercises people use between sessions to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and addictive habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. In an online format these skills are taught in short, practiceable steps that clients can try during daily life and then bring back to sessions to refine.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they adjust methods so sessions match the client’s needs and rhythm.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quiet check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or more frequent contact between longer sessions.
