About Thaddeus
Thaddeus Elder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas with 14 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and depression. He frames the first step as an act of courage and aims to make beginning therapy feel straightforward and manageable.
Thaddeus sees each person as the expert on their life. He looks for strengths people already have and builds on them.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, focusing on skills and small changes that make daily life easier. When someone is dealing with anger or stress, he works on strategies to reduce intense reactions and improve communication. For anxiety and social fears he uses clear, step-by-step techniques to reduce avoidance and increase confidence.
He also supports people sorting out relationship problems and attachment concerns by helping them notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, often guides his work to help people shift thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, for teaching emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming. Thaddeus keeps sessions focused and practical. He helps people set simple goals and track progress between meetings.
If someone prefers a collaborative, skills-based approach that acknowledges their strengths, his style may be a good match.

How CBT and DBT work online
Thaddeus uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday worries because it breaks problems into manageable steps.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense and when someone needs clear strategies for coping in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He works with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a mix fits their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video lets you use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or time is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress steady between meetings.
