About Elise
Elise Lisboa helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She blends practical coaching with psychotherapy to make daily life feel more manageable. Her approach is straightforward and focused on real-world problems parents notice at home or school.
Elise holds a PhD in School and Human Development and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. She has two decades of clinical experience across hospital behavioral health, outpatient care, and independent practice.
Background and approach
That background shapes a calm, organized way of working with clients. In sessions she mixes problem-solving, skills training, and short-term coaching. Conversations focus on clarifying goals, building routines, and practicing small changes that add up.
She draws on methods that fit each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Elise has experience with neurodevelopmental assessment and interdisciplinary consultation. She uses that knowledge to coordinate with schools and other professionals when needed.
Her work is informed by a neurodiversity-affirming perspective and attention to practical functioning. She offers telehealth and remote formats alongside traditional therapy tasks like planning, skills practice, and progress review. Her style aims to be direct and supportive so families can try new strategies and see what helps in day-to-day life.
Approaches and online care that fit real life
Elise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote work. One common approach she draws on focuses on building practical skills and routines - it helps people reduce overwhelm, manage ADHD-related challenges, and handle day-to-day stress. Another approach centers on short-term coaching and goal setting to break larger problems into manageable steps and track progress over weeks.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews goals, daily challenges, and preferences with the client and then tests methods that seem likely to help. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what proves useful in real life rather than staying tied to a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, share quick updates, or get targeted coaching during the week.
