More about Elena
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through complex issues, I specialize in addressing the effects of depression, anxiety, trauma, and general life stressors. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging self talk, interpersonal dynamics and deeply personal struggles with compassion and understanding.
Drawing from a whole person therapeutic approach, I offer culturally sensitive support for individuals experiencing isolation, attachment challenges, and significant life changes. My work is particularly focused on supporting symptoms of stress and reducing its effect on your daily life.
I approach therapy as a collaborative journey, listening and being receptive to feedback and changes along the way. It is important to me that you reach your goals and so start every therapy journey with the development of measurable, achievable goals to monitor progress. My commitment is to honor each individual's unique story and empower them toward emotional wellness and self-discovery.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
