About Elisa
Elisa Carlino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical problems like anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, ADHD, relationship concerns, trauma and anger. Elisa works in a direct, down-to-earth way and speaks English and Italian.
She has worked in clinics, hospitals, and schools and has experience with young people and adults. That background means she knows how daily life and work demands shape mental health. Elisa uses straightforward tools clients can keep using after sessions end.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness. She teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings, change unhelpful patterns, and act on personal values. Sessions include practical strategies rather than long theory talks.
Elisa often frames therapy as coaching for life roles - parenting, work, and relationships. She helps people build skills for communication, impulse control, and handling resentment that builds over time. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that fit busy routines.
Clients who have experienced trauma, caregiving stress, chronic illness, or life transitions can expect an organized plan for coping and recovery. Elisa also works with issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, body image, and career stress. She accepts international clients and offers guidance on next steps for the first appointment.
How Elisa’s approaches translate to online work
Elisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take concrete steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting driven by them. ACT can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and managing anger that comes from frustration or resentment.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective responses. CBT offers hands-on exercises for impulse control, communication, and mood management that fit into everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time.
