She trained in sociology and social work and has classroom teaching experience in human services. Eloise uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people name what is bothering them and then tries out ways to change unhelpful patterns.
People often come to her for relationship strain, communication problems, and the stress that follows divorce or a change in household. She also supports those coping with abandonment, adoption or foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and issues around aging and end-of-life. Eloise addresses guilt, shame, and problems that lower self-esteem in day-to-day life.
Her approach focuses on clear goals and small, workable steps. She blends client-centered listening with CBT techniques to challenge thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions involve talking through situations, practicing new responses, and tracking what helps.
She practices in Virginia and offers services in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling steps on the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify their priorities and choices. Online sessions using this approach still center the client's perspective and aim to make goals easier to name and work toward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT usually involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying short exercises between meetings, and tracking what changes behavior and mood. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and relationship worries.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try practical exercises, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize listening, skills practice, or a mix of both.
