Background and approach

Sessions blend looking at current thinking patterns with attention to deeper material that can shape behavior. Eliot describes this as integrating the conscious and unconscious mind rather than replacing your values. His approach includes methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, skills-based strategies from dialectical behavior therapy, and elements of mindfulness to manage strong emotions.

He also uses psychodynamic ideas to make sense of patterns that repeat over time. Eliot adapts tools to match each person’s goals and pace. Over eight years in practice, Eliot has worked with many concerns such as bipolar mood issues, OCD patterns, panic attacks, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

He also supports people facing career changes, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Eliot accepts international clients. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

If someone prefers a direct, collaborative style, he aims to help them get clearer about next steps and make steady, practical progress.

How Eliot’s approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It helps with anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and mood problems by teaching practical ways to change thinking and behavior. DBT brings skills to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood instability, anger, and self-control challenges.

Eliot treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. He listens to a person’s goals and preferences, then tries methods that fit those goals. Over a few sessions he checks what helps and adjusts the work together so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions are close to in-person visits when face-to-face conversation is important. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break during the day. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when that works better for a schedule. These options aim to make regular, consistent work easier to maintain.
