About Elida

Elida Segrera is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to conversations about relationships, life changes, grief, and stress. She speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward, practical guidance to help people move forward.

Her work often centers on relationships and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with depression, anxiety, career strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Clients come with issues like infidelity, communication problems, divorce and separation, or family of origin concerns.

Background and approach

Elida draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves and their relationships. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to listen closely and build a trusting space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used when people want concrete strategies for coping and change.

Sessions are conversational and interactive. She focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her and works with them to set realistic steps. Practical tools and short-term goals are balanced with exploring deeper patterns that keep people stuck.

People who choose Elida often want clear, respectful guidance and a therapist who honors cultural background and life context. Her approach is flexible and tailored to the issues presented, whether that is chronic illness, blended family dynamics, fertility concerns, or immigration-related stress.

Online session options

Approaches that translate well to online care

Elida often combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships and helps rewrite those stories in more helpful ways. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and keeping the client's goals at the center of each session.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when people want practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT involves identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing small changes that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach happens together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, and then tailor methods to fit those needs. This collaborative planning helps make online sessions feel focused and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit people who want ongoing brief support or find typing easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
