Therapeutic Approach

Experience & Specialties

Her approach integrates Family Systems Theory with Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution Focused Models. Dr. Elieson believes counseling is a team process – and brings to the session some perspective and expertise on how life works, but recognizes that the client is the expert on their own life. She sees the client as an equal participant in their own counseling work, with the therapist as a guide. Her style as a counselor tends to be supportive and caring, but also assertive when identifying issues. Her goal for clients is for them to feel empowered as they chart their own course toward happiness, peace, and joy.

Experience & Specialties

Her broad experience supporting juvenile detention centers, a local women’s shelter, a private psychiatry practice, local pastors, and LDS Family Services has given her a unique understanding and appreciation of relationships, teenagers, women’s issues, and family dynamics. Her specialties are in faith-based counseling, couples, marriage, depression, anxiety, sexuality, women’s issues, adolescent and adult counseling.
