Background and approach
Elli uses a mix of accepted therapy approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with mindfulness skills and techniques drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts tools to each person’s needs and goals rather than using a single rigid plan. Her work includes supporting people with LGBTQ concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship difficulties, and ADHD.
She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, body image, and caregiver stress. Elli works with adults and with children starting at age 5. Clients can expect practical skill-building alongside space to process feelings.
Elli aims to help people make changes that fit their daily lives, whether that means managing mood shifts, improving communication, or developing routines that reduce overwhelm.
How Elli’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related overwhelm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elli will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what actually works. Clients are involved in setting goals and deciding which techniques to keep using.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still working on concrete skills and emotional processing.
