More about Elzona
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a social worker by trade (LCSW) and have 10 years of work experience in the field. I worked in hospice and transitioned into therapy over the last few years. I have worked with a variety of issues including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, motivation, symptoms of ADHD, parenting challenges, anticipatory grief, and bereavement.
I like to get to know you as a person so I can have a thorough understanding of you and any problems you are trying to figure out. I will make an authentic, genuine connection with you. We will be a team collaborating to create a treatment plan that suits your lifestyle and personality. I create an environment where you will feel comfortable, relaxed, connected, heard, and validated. I spend time getting to know you so I can understand the issues you have been facing. I will move at a pace that you are comfortable with. The therapy styles I enjoy using are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
I want therapy to be something you look forward to!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
