About Elisa
Elisa Stone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and life changes. Her practice also addresses relationship concerns, parenting strains, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and support for people with bipolar conditions. Elisa lists life purpose, forgiveness, and self-love among her focus areas.
Elisa uses a person-centered stance in sessions. That means she listens closely and follows the client's lead while helping them clarify goals. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns in thinking and feeling, and to build small, practical skills for day-to-day life.
Her approach is straightforward and practice-oriented. Sessions can include discussing stressful situations, trying brief behavioral experiments, using grounding or breathing practices, and working on problem-solving steps for relationship or career decisions. She also brings attention to routines like sleep, movement, and nutrition when they relate to mood and stress.
People who come when they feel stuck after a change in work, relationship, or health may find this style useful. Elisa tends to focus on what can be adjusted now and what small steps move a person toward clearer priorities. She encourages clients to identify life goals and to work on skills that support steady emotion management.
Elisa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and appointments are offered in English in Washington.
Approaches used in online sessions
Elisa commonly combines a person-centered way of meeting people with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools. Person-centered work means the therapist listens and follows the client's priorities, helping them name what matters and set goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. Mindfulness introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce intense reactivity and support calmer decision making.Deciding which approach to emphasize is part of the work together. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on what seems most useful for their problems and life situation. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused on practical steps the client wants to try.
