About Elsie
Elsie Pulupuna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a client-centered approach to support people facing stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. She focuses on creating a steady, understanding presence so clients can feel heard and begin to change patterns that no longer serve them. Elsie believes strong relationships matter for mental health.
She helps people notice how their connections with others and themselves affect daily life. Sessions aim to help clients name unhelpful thoughts and habits and practice different ways of relating and coping.
Background and approach
Her work addresses trauma and abuse, panic and social anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She also helps with attachment issues, communication problems, control concerns, and feelings of guilt or isolation. Conversations often center on immediate coping strategies and clearer ways to communicate with others.
With four years of clinical experience, Elsie draws on straightforward, person-focused conversations rather than heavy techniques. She offers time and space to reflect, feel understood, and try small changes between sessions. Progress is built step by step, at the client's pace.
Elsie practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose what fits their schedule and daily life. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
Client-centered care and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates space for clients to talk through feelings and experiences at their own pace, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.That same person-focused approach is used online. Sessions aim to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of relating, and try small behavioral changes between meetings. The therapist will collaborate with each client to find the approach that fits their goals and needs rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when a written format feels easier. These options let clients fit therapy into work breaks, school schedules, or busy family days while still working with a licensed professional.
