Eliza Marcus, LMHC

Eliza Marcus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, career concerns, ADHD, and jealousy among other issues.

Eliza keeps sessions respectful and direct. She adapts her conversation and plans to what each person needs. The goal is practical change that fits a person's life, not a one-size-fits-all script.

In session she listens first and then helps set small, realistic steps. That might mean trying strategies to manage worry, testing new relationship habits, or building routines that reduce burnout. She draws on approaches that encourage action and clarity while also valuing the client's perspective.

Clients often come with a mix of concerns such as anger, self-esteem, eating issues, or family conflict. Eliza also supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, blended family stress, caregiver strain, immigration issues, and first responder pressures. She works at a pace chosen with the client.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful so people can try things between meetings. Eliza encourages small experiments and adjustments that add up over time.

How her approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own experience, offering a respectful space where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Eliza will discuss what matters to the client and try strategies that fit their goals. Together they decide what feels useful and adjust the plan as needed, mixing techniques when that makes sense.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't required. It also lets people keep momentum between appointments by practicing agreed steps in daily life and reviewing progress with a licensed professional.
