Elaine Wells , LCSW

Elaine Wells is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, and trauma. She focuses on women's issues alongside areas like grief, addictions, and codependency. Elaine aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and begin to feel more stable.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques rather than jargon. Sessions are meant to be a place to sort out feelings, set small goals, and try new ways of coping. Elaine encourages small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Her approach blends respect for each person's experience with tools that teach different skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck and uncertain about making changes.

Elaine draws on five years of professional experience working with adults on issues such as intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She respects each person's pace and priorities while focusing on concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

People who work with Elaine choose therapy to handle life changes, recover from abusive experiences, or rebuild self-esteem after difficult events. She supports clients in identifying values, managing symptoms, and taking action steps that fit their life and goals.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs emotional support, wants to understand their feelings, or prefers to set the pace of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills for noticing thought patterns and changing behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and stress management.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation step by step. This approach is often used for addictions, codependency, and situations where change feels difficult or overwhelming.

Elaine will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches based on the client's goals, preferences, and needs. Early sessions are used to identify priorities and try methods that fit the person's life. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you talk face to face when longer conversation and visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, day-to-day problem solving, and ongoing motivation between longer sessions.
