   About Elisha

   Elisha Farley is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, and addictions. She supports clients working through grief, life changes, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, and questions about identity and self-worth. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can focus on real steps forward.

   Elisha practices in Pennsylvania and draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also incorporates client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness skills, and narrative work when they fit the situation.

   Sessions begin with a clear conversation about goals and practical next steps. Elisha keeps language simple and actionable, offering small experiments, thought-focused exercises, and mindfulness practices to try between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.

   Her background as an LCSW in Pennsylvania and New Jersey gives her long-term experience with common life transitions and recurring problems like workplace stress, substance concerns, and family of origin issues. She also helps with parenting strain, pregnancy and childbirth questions, and young adult challenges.

   People who choose Elisha can expect straightforward feedback, a focus on what changes are realistic, and a steady emphasis on building skills that fit everyday life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect you and schedule the first meeting.

2. How these approaches translate to online care

   Elisha often draws from Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people clarify their own reasons for change and boosting commitment to small, workable steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and validation so people feel heard as they name goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Elisha will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts the plan over time, combining listening, skill practice, and short experiments to see what helps most.
   
   Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between sessions through brief check-ins when supported. The work focuses on practical skills you can use day to day and on making therapy match your schedule and goals.
