How Elli's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and identity questions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person in front of the therapist. This approach builds trust and helps people clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Elli works with each person to figure out what fits their goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time. She combines talking, skill practice, and short between-session exercises to track progress.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people connect face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, coaching-style support, and ongoing reflection between appointments, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
