Marie is an AMAZING therapist and I couldn't be more grateful for her. She helped me through a very rough time in my life and I don't know if I would've made it through without her. I can be a very negative thinker sometimes and she's truly aided me in viewing my life from a different perspective. This past year I was diagnosed with ADHD and she was able to provide me with extremely useful coping mechanisms. I'm so thankful for all she has done for me. Thank you so much Marie!

Marie and I worked together for over a year. We just had our last session today and honestly I cannot say enough great and nice things about her. Marie is by far one of the most attentive, thorough, and supportive therapists I have ever had. She really puts in a lot of time and effort into each session and takes detailed notes so that she can follow up to see how you are doing in each area. She is excellent at both holding you accountable and giving you the tools to do so yourself. Our sessions were both challenging and encouraging, as Marie helped me own up to the hard truths we don't always want to hear, but she also helped me find my inner strength to embark on the path to self improvement. If you want a therapist that is all about dedication, positivity, accountability, self improvement, and teaching people to be self reliant, then Marie is the therapist you should choose. I would highly recommend her to anyone. 10/10 experience for me!

My name is Marie Elanus and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I have many years of experience working with people of all age groups to overcome behavioral and emotional barriers. As a Christian, I believe in the gift of freedom. I provide individual and couples counseling. My therapeutic approach is with compassion, care, and understanding. I love to serve my clients through diverse therapeutic techniques to gain insight into their behaviors.

Thank you for considering your mental health as a priority to seek support. I would love to work alongside you and empower you in accomplishing your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
