About Jocelyn

Jocelyn Elliott is a Kansas-licensed specialist clinical social worker (LSCSW) with 18 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and relational challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a trauma-informed, affirming approach to work with LGBT clients and others grappling with relationship struggles, grief, mood disorders, addiction, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Her background emphasizes compassionate listening and practical strategies tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Her practice focuses on improving communication, managing stress and anxiety, and supporting people through major life changes like divorce, adoption and foster care issues, or career transitions. Jocelyn integrates evidence-based methods to address self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and patterns such as codependency or compulsive behaviors.

She also offers support around gender dysphoria, body image, and complex family-of-origin dynamics. Jocelyn blends problem-solving skills with reflective work to foster emotional resilience and clearer decision-making.

She aims to help clients build tools for coping with anger, compassion fatigue, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and the practical challenges of daily life. Her style is collaborative and tailored, guiding clients toward greater self-understanding and sustainable change.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Jocelyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as core tools in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help people manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Jocelyn discusses clients' goals, symptoms, and preferences, then tailors methods or combines techniques to best support progress over time. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy aligns with each person's needs and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into busy schedules, maintain momentum between meetings, and use different formats that match how a client prefers to communicate with a licensed professional.
