About Elisa
LCSW-R in New York with 25 years of experience. Elisa Reisner focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, eating issues, and anger. She combines practical talk therapy with clear methods to help people manage difficult feelings and make changes.
Elisa works from the view that each person knows their life best. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice what gets in the way of living as they want. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Common skills include ways to change unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify personal values.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept hard feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought patterns and test new perspectives. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience and priorities.
Sessions also address relationship patterns such as communication problems, divorce and separation, and forgiveness work. Elisa helps people who feel isolated or stuck find practical steps toward connection and purpose. Work on social anxiety and phobia focuses on pacing exposures and building confidence.
People coming for help with addictions or eating issues can expect direct discussion of behaviors and gradual planning for change. When anger is a problem, sessions include strategies for noticing triggers and responding differently. The first meeting reviews current concerns and sets short-term goals.
Elisa practices in New York and holds the LCSW-R credential. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses straightforward experiments and practice to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa treats the choice of method as collaborative and reviews what feels most useful for the person's goals. She adjusts tools and pacing based on each person's needs and what they want to focus on.
The practical benefits of working remotely should be confirmed before booking because session formats are not specified in the biographical summary. Talk-based therapies translate well to remote sessions when people need to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. Remote meetings can make check-ins shorter or let someone continue work between appointments. Confirm the current session options and scheduling details before you book.
