Background and approach

She uses clear exercises and practical talk to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. Elli also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness skills to address patterns of thinking and feeling that get in the way. That can include coping tools for anger, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship problems.

She pays attention to trauma and its effects when it’s relevant to a person’s goals. Her background includes work with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and caregiving stress, among other issues. Elli describes therapy as a collaborative process - she listens, reflects, and offers methods people can try between sessions.

Sessions are organized around what each person wants to change or understand. Elli supports practical steps for everyday challenges like career stress, parenting strain, eating and body-image issues, and life transitions. Her style aims to make emotional work manageable and directly useful in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on values-based actions. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction and practical steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills for daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elli will listen to goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques if something isn’t working and checks in regularly about progress.

Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for full sessions, phone for lower bandwidth or simpler check-ins, live chat for short conversations, and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to use tools in the moments when they matter most.
