About Elena Parsons
Her practice includes work with addictions, mental illness, couples and family therapy, chronic illness, grief and loss, coping with life changes, and related concerns. A particular focus on chronic illness and cancer stems from personal family experience, which informs her sensitivity to the emotional and practical stressors that accompany serious diagnoses.
In addition to traditional counseling techniques, she is certified as an Interactive Guided Imagery Practitioner - a method that helps clients draw on their own inner resources through guided visualization to support problem solving and healing. Elena emphasizes supportive listening, practical strategies to reduce anxiety and stress, and providing helpful referral information when additional services are needed.
She recognizes that facing a life-altering diagnosis or other major challenges can feel overwhelming, and she encourages people not to shoulder that burden alone. Elena acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and affirms the importance of taking that first step toward support and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where a person’s values and choices guide the work; it is useful for building self-esteem, exploring life changes, and strengthening coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical strategies and structured exercises - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elena Parsons works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and pacing so the plan aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent care, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical treatments and allow ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel.
