About Thaddeus
Thaddeus Elder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 14 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He frames clients as the experts in their own stories and builds on strengths to address current problems.
He uses straightforward conversation and skill-building to tackle what feels stuck. Sessions focus on concrete steps such as learning to notice triggers, trying new ways to respond, and practicing skills between meetings. That practical emphasis aims to reduce panic, calm heated moments, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Thaddeus draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These approaches are used to address mood disorders, social anxiety, and patterns that keep relationships strained.
People who prefer clear feedback and hands-on exercises may find his style a good fit. He encourages small, measurable changes rather than abstract promises. This can look like short skill drills, role play of difficult conversations, or planning manageable steps toward a life goal.
He accepts clients who communicate in English and is open to working with people from other countries. To begin, prospective clients use the site process to match and schedule an initial session. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera.
