About Elaine
Elaine Wells is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, trauma and abuse, and issues such as depression, addiction, grief, and self-esteem. She also focuses on codependency, domestic violence, women's issues, and compassion fatigue.
Elaine uses straightforward conversation to identify immediate problems and practical next steps. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to work on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding internal motivation for change.
Sessions are aimed at clear goals like reducing panic, improving communication, managing mood swings, or addressing unhealthy patterns. Elaine talks through coping skills, reframes unhelpful thinking, and supports steps toward recovery from substance-related issues or patterns of codependency. She also helps people facing career strain or parenting stress.
Her approach is direct and collaborative. Clients can expect to talk about current challenges, set short-term goals, and practice specific skills between meetings. Elaine treats each conversation as practical work rather than abstract theory.
She works in English and is licensed in Florida as an LCSW. Before booking, confirm the session formats currently offered through the platform and the subscription details, since costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How Elaine’s approaches translate to online work
Elaine uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's priorities. That approach centers on listening, reflecting what the person says, and letting the client guide what to work on. It is useful for relationship worries, stress, and issues around self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. In practice this means talking through specific situations, practicing different responses, and using homework exercises to build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to find personal reasons for change. It helps when someone is uncertain about quitting substances, changing a behavior, or making a life adjustment. The technique focuses on eliciting a person’s own goals and building small steps toward them.
Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. Elaine will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client decide which approaches to emphasize. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as needs change.
