- LCSW
I'm Chris Elliott, a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Missouri. I earned my Master of Social Work degree at St. Louis University. More than 20 years in the field of social work has taught me that, at some point in our lives, we all encounter events that result in traumatic experiences and it is not uncommon to be challenged by life. Life challenges us by design, so realizing that you're not ok...is ok and serves as the beginning of healing. Therapy supports healing.
I recognize that engaging in therapy is a big step, so I take a versatile, but evidence-based, approach to building a helping relationship. My practice utilizes mindfulness, trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. Therapy should support openness, safe space, empowerment, and growth. My goal is to foster a healing process that supports reassurance and preparedness because I know that mental health is essential to healthy living and therapy is the tool to achieving the goal.
I value your concerns and create an atmosphere grounded in mutual respect. I actively listen and extend clinical insight that will support a rewarding therapeutic experience. When you are ready, I am ready. Therapy is a choice away.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
