Jocelyn Elliott

Jocelyn Elliott is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing anger, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Jocelyn aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people under stress.

She works with individuals exploring sexual and gender identity, people coping with grief or loss, and those dealing with mood and anxiety concerns. Jocelyn also supports clients facing addiction, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to parenting or family problems. Her practice pays attention to real life details and day-to-day coping.

Jocelyn uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices also appear in sessions when they fit the goals.

Sessions aim to build practical skills for managing strong emotions, including anger, and to clarify values and relationship patterns. Jocelyn helps people practice new ways of communicating and setting boundaries. She also works on rebuilding self-esteem and finding direction after major life changes.

Her style is warm and direct. Jocelyn helps clients set clear goals and measures progress in simple, concrete steps. People leave with tools they can use between sessions and a clearer sense of what they want next.

How these approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anger, anxiety, and depression to create practical coping steps.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques can help with anger regulation, distress tolerance, and communication in relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on understanding and reshaping patterns in close relationships. It can help people notice how their emotions drive interactions and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where real life happens, which can speed up learning and make homework more practical.
