About Eliza
Eliza Marcus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions focus on practical talk and problem-solving rather than labels and jargon.
Eliza listens for what matters most to each person and then decides on ways to work together. She uses straightforward methods drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Those methods look at how thoughts and behaviors connect and what small changes can reduce distress.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with clients facing trauma, compassion fatigue, eating concerns, and career or ADHD-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, control issues, codependency, and blended family stress. These are handled in clear, step-by-step conversations aimed at practical change.
Sessions move between talking through problems, setting doable goals, and practicing new responses. Solution-Focused tools are used when people want faster, short-term shifts. Client-Centered ideas guide sessions where listening and reflection are the priority.
Eliza asks questions, checks how strategies feel in real life, and adjusts plans as needed. She encourages small, measurable steps rather than sweeping promises. The work tends to be direct, grounded, and focused on what helps someone manage anger, relationships, or daily stress.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Eliza uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. ACT is useful when someone wants to reduce the hold that thoughts and emotions have over their behavior. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and to test out new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eliza discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods match the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative check helps shape homework, pacing, and the focus of sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, or remove travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises and planning to suit remote sessions so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
