About Auben
Auben Elliott helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She is a California psychologist with 36 years of experience and brings a steady, compassionate presence to sessions. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives.
She listens for strengths and practical resources people can use right away. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than long lists of theory.
How Auben works
Her approach centers on supporting people to build confidence and motivation. She talks through what is getting in the way and works with each person to set concrete goals. Many clients find this useful for mood shifts, worry, and relationship strain.
Auben also has experience with adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, codependency, and family of origin difficulties. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, midlife transitions, seasonal mood changes, workplace problems, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a focus on what will help a person in daily life.
Her work is practical and steady, aimed at helping people regain functioning and feel more able to face challenges. If someone wants clear steps and consistent support, she offers that steady style.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments; this can ease anxiety and low mood by changing how situations are interpreted. Another approach emphasizes practical skill building and step-by-step behavior changes to restore routines, reduce avoidance, and improve mood after trauma or during depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and access licensed professionals from different locations.
