About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Elliott is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and identity questions. Jocelyn also supports clients dealing with grief, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and career uncertainty.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients name and work with strong emotions. Sessions often focus on recognizing patterns that keep people stuck and practicing new ways of responding to stressful situations. Jocelyn integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when helpful for building skills and clarity.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including LGBT topics, family problems, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, body image, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, gender dysphoria, and difficulties around communication and codependency.
In practical terms, Jocelyn emphasizes learning skills that can be used outside sessions. People often leave with concrete steps to try between meetings and ways to measure small changes. She aims to help clients make decisions about next steps in their life or relationships rather than offering quick fixes.
If someone wants to book with her they can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name difficult feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships or daily life. It focuses on changing how someone responds to emotions so they feel more connected to what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits for managing anxiety, depression, or stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It emphasizes grounding, distress tolerance, and strategies to reduce conflict and impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jocelyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they're facing. That conversation guides which techniques are used in sessions and what to try between meetings.
