About Eliza
Eliza Marcus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult family or parenting situations. Eliza aims to meet people where they are and treat them with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She draws on straightforward talk and collaborative planning. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, with steps laid out so progress feels manageable. Eliza helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes that fit real life.
Her work includes support for relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with trauma, eating issues, ADHD, and immigration-related stress. Many clients come for help with abandonment, control, or blended-family strain.
Eliza uses well-known therapeutic approaches to guide sessions and keeps the focus on what clients want to change. She encourages people to practice new skills between meetings and to track what works. The aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.
She frames therapy as a partnership. Clients set goals and Eliza adjusts methods as needs shift. Anyone considering beginning therapy is invited to take a first step and see how the work unfolds.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feelings of emptiness by shifting focus toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people try out different responses. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust techniques as progress is tracked and priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life - meetings can be arranged around work, caregiving, or school schedules. Virtual sessions also allow a quicker check-in when routines are tight, and can reduce travel time so more energy goes toward the work itself.
