Elisa Mendoza

I’m a clinical psychologist with over 8 years of experience working with diverse populations across private practice and digital mental health settings. Most of my work has focused on supporting adults dealing with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and work-related stress. Over the past few years, I’ve been working in high-intensity environments, including supporting Trust & Safety professionals who are regularly exposed to distressing and graphic content. This has strengthened my ability to provide structured, focused support, especially in cases involving burnout, emotional fatigue, and trauma-related stress. My approach is primarily based on CBT and DBT, and I tend to work in a structured, goal-oriented way while still adapting to each client’s needs. I’m comfortable delivering therapy online and managing both short-term, solution-focused work as well as longer processes when needed. I also have training in Mental Health First Aid, which has been helpful for early risk identification and providing timely support when clients are going through more acute distress. I really value creating a space where clients feel understood but also leave sessions with something practical they can use in their day-to-day life.
