About Elaine
Elaine Wells is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. Elaine works with adults who want clearer ways to manage strong feelings and persistent patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She encourages clients to talk through what is happening now and what they want to change. Conversations cover immediate coping skills and small steps to test new behaviors between sessions.
Elaine uses methods that emphasize collaboration and real-world practice. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow the client’s lead and build on what already works. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people feel stuck or unsure about change. That method helps sort through mixed feelings and set realistic goals. Throughout, the focus stays on clear strategies people can apply to reduce reactivity and handle conflicts more constructively.
She is based in Florida and conducts work in English. People who want to start are encouraged to pick a first session and try a few meetings to see how the tools fit their life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the room. Online this means sessions start with the client’s priorities and proceed at a pace they accept. It helps when someone needs a space to name their anger or relationship worries and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings and actions into clear steps. In online sessions, CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses between meetings. This approach suits problems like anxiety, sleep trouble, and anger that show up as repeated reactions.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify mixed feelings about change. Online meetings can use this style to set small, realistic goals and build commitment over time. The therapist and client collaborate to choose strategies that fit the client’s life and aims.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Elaine will help figure out which methods fit best based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain regular contact and try new skills between meetings.
