About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with 24 years of experience. He is based in Minnesota and helps people with concerns such as depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes.
He begins by listening to what is most pressing and then works with each person to find practical options. Sessions focus on identifying problems, noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trying clearer, more workable responses. He uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused steps rather than lengthy theory discussions.
Jeffrey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses client-centered methods to keep the session focused on the person's priorities and motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. Solution-focused ideas are used to set small, achievable next steps between sessions.
People contact him for help with mood changes, stress, anger, intimacy concerns, career crossroads, and coping after losses. He treats relationship and family issues as individual concerns and helps people find better ways to communicate and manage conflict.
Practical homework is common so skills can be practiced between sessions. The approach is action-oriented: try a change, evaluate how it worked, and adjust. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How his approaches translate to online work
Jeffrey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and behavior that maintain problems, and then to test small changes that reduce symptoms or improve daily functioning. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify a person’s readiness to change and to build commitment when ambivalence shows up.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He treats this as a collaborative process, reviewing what the person wants, trying a method for a few sessions, and adjusting based on progress and preference. Sessions focus on practical steps and regular review so the plan can be changed if it is not working.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent across life changes. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, avoid travel time, or use a quieter setting, depending on what the person needs.
