Background and approach
For many years she worked with children and youth, and more recently has focused on adults and relationship concerns. Her long career includes roles in community programs across New York. Ivelisse uses an approach that starts by meeting people where they are.
She looks for strengths to build on and helps identify practical barriers that get in the way of progress. Sessions focus on real skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and coping with difficult events. She blends a few well-known methods to suit each person’s needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused techniques help set small, reachable goals. Trauma-informed ideas guide work with painful memories and reactions.
Many clients come for help with anger and emotional control, parenting strain, or symptoms from past trauma. Ivelisse aims to make therapy straightforward and goal-oriented, so people can take clearer control of their feelings and daily choices.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, understanding, and tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and decisions about change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses clear, structured steps to change unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, anger, and panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that fit their style, and adjust as progress is made. Treatment plans are shaped by what works in the sessions and by client feedback.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let therapists and clients meet face to face. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or times when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into work, family, and daily life.
