About Elliott
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with eight years of clinical experience in New York. Elliott Skaggs focuses on self-esteem and related emotional and relational concerns. He uses several evidence-based approaches to help people manage mood, relationships, and life transitions.
Elliott helps people work through low self-worth, shame, and identity questions. He also addresses relationship strains such as communication problems, infidelity, and divorce or separation. Addiction and substance use concerns, as well as panic and mood symptoms, are among the issues he commonly addresses.
In sessions he draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means work can include practical exercises, values clarification, thoughts-and-behavior work, and attention to how attachment patterns affect relationships.
His style balances direct feedback with supportive listening. Sessions often focus on building specific skills such as emotion regulation, communication tactics, and coping strategies for panic or intense feelings. He also helps people clarify life purpose and commitment questions when those come up.
Elliott practices in New York and communicates in English. He does not accept international clients. If someone is interested, they start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the See online therapy options flow.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. Online sessions using ACT often involve values exercises, mindfulness practices, and planning small steps to test changes in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In a remote CBT session clients can expect thought records, behavioral experiments, and clear homework to try between meetings.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. Over a few sessions the plan can shift based on what proves most helpful in practice.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients try skills in the settings where they happen and bring those experiences back to sessions for troubleshooting and skill-building.
