Jeffrey Elliott

Jeffrey Elliott is a licensed counselor with more than 24 years of experience. He holds LCPC and LPCC credentials and practices in Minnesota. He listens first, then helps people find practical ways forward for the problems they bring into sessions.

He treats a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, substance use, relationship difficulties, anger, and changes in life or career. Sessions focus on identifying clear goals and steps that make daily life feel more manageable. The work is solution-minded and rooted in what each person needs right now.

Jeffrey uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what works. He also uses motivational approaches when people are unsure about change, and he centers the conversation on each person's experience and choices.

People who prefer practical tools and short-term plans may find his style useful. He aims to help people move from feeling stuck to making smaller, sustainable changes. Sessions are conversational and directed toward problem solving.

Jeffrey encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by loss, addiction, anxiety, anger, or big life changes to consider therapy. He recognizes taking that first step takes courage and supports clients in planning the next steps toward resolution.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It emphasizes empathy and supporting people to set their own goals, which helps when sorting through difficult emotions like grief or anger.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete strategies to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation. It is often used when someone is unsure about changing substance use or other entrenched habits.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. This means adjusting techniques over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer interruptions for travel. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or more regular meetings when needed. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
