About Elyse
Elyse Daignault is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 24 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life challenges listed in her profile.
Elyse uses a straightforward style in sessions and often mixes light humor with deeper work. She prefers to focus on stress and practical coping strategies while also addressing emotional patterns that contribute to ongoing problems. This plainspoken approach aims to help people manage symptoms and make changes that fit their daily lives.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people who present with complex problems such as personality disorders, self-harm history, and repeated suicidal attempts. She has also worked with many LGBTQ clients and has experience across mood, trauma, and behavioral concerns. That experience informs how she plans treatment and talks through difficult topics.
Elyse draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when those methods suit a person's goals. Sessions tend to be practical and action-oriented, with attention to emotions and painful memories when needed.

How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include specific exercises and practical skill-building to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their emotions and the patterns that shape relationships. In remote sessions this can mean tracking emotional responses and trying new ways of relating between meetings.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses painful memories and their effects on current life. Online trauma work may move at a paced, collaborative speed and include techniques to manage intense feelings during and after sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide whether CBT, EFT, trauma-focused methods, or a combination fits their goals and comfort level. This collaborative planning looks at symptoms, life demands, and what the person prefers.
Session-format details are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate remote sessions because they can fit meetings into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Discussing session length, pacing, and practical needs helps align therapy with everyday life.
