She brings eight years of clinical experience to each conversation. Elena values an honest, authentic relationship with the people she sees. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and uses their strengths to guide treatment.
The aim is to help people gain tools, make choices that fit their values, and build better everyday routines.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Elena often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them and then take small actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anger, stress, and life transitions.She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depressive moods. CBT is practical and action-oriented and often focuses on skill building in session.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Elena will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts exercises and pacing based on how someone responds, combining skills, values work, and relationship-focused techniques when helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick questions, check-ins, or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or during transitions while continuing focused clinical work.
