About Elissa
Elissa Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on building a calm and respectful place where people can talk through hard feelings and find practical ways to feel better. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and LGBT issues.
Elissa uses clear, evidence-based methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. She helps clients look at communication habits, manage guilt or shame, and develop healthier coping strategies.
How Elissa works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Many people come for help with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, or body image struggles. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, midlife transitions, questions about life purpose, and challenges tied to drug and alcohol use.
Elissa addresses commitment questions and communication problems without judgment. Her work includes exploring sexuality and non-monogamous relationship dynamics when relevant, and she helps people process divorce or separation and feelings tied to forgiveness. Practical skills, real-world steps, and steady support are central to her approach.
Elissa describes her role as a collaborator who listens and offers guidance tailored to each person. Sessions are straightforward, with attention to small changes that add up over time. She practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Elissa draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One approach emphasizes examining and changing communication and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve relationships. Another focuses on recognizing and shifting thoughts that fuel depression and low self-esteem, helping people develop kinder self-talk and steadier moods.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and body language cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing helps someone process their thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or daily routines and can be combined based on what works best for the person.
