About Elia
Elia Ayuso is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the daily challenges of living with ADHD. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and respectful. Her style is warm and practical for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Elia uses simple, evidence-informed methods to address problems that get in the way of daily life. She focuses on skills you can use right away - like noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing brief grounding techniques, and setting small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and pace. With five years of professional experience, she has worked with people facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, and isolation. Elia also supports those dealing with compulsive worries, panic attacks, social anxiety, and struggles around communication or relationship endings.
She pays attention to cultural background and how it affects stress and coping. People who prefer a practical approach will find concrete tools and short exercises in sessions. Elia emphasizes collaboration - deciding together what to try and how to measure progress.
She encourages steady steps forward rather than sudden change. Her conversations aim to be clear and compassionate. If someone wants guidance in English or Spanish, Elia offers a steady, approachable way to work through problems and build daily habits that reduce distress over time.
How CBT and Mindfulness work in online therapy
Elia combines practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to help people manage anxious thoughts and build steady habits. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, useful for panic, anger, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you can try a few techniques, track what feels useful, and adjust the plan based on your needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy life and to practice skills between sessions.
