Eliza Marcus, LMHC

Eliza Marcus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for each person.

She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career questions. Attention differences and ADHD are among the areas she will talk through with clients.

Eliza adapts sessions to fit an individual's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are client-centered, and she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance strategies to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Solution-focused ideas are used when clients want concrete steps and short-term goals.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She aims to listen carefully, ask direct questions, and support people as they test new ways of handling pressure and conflict. Expectations and goals are shaped together in the room.

People who come to her often want a mix of emotional support and practical tools. She helps clients weigh options, plan small changes, and build skills for managing daily stress and relationship concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Eliza uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into specific patterns and actions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward personal values. ACT can help when people want to reduce struggle with painful emotions and take steps that matter to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking because specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins around work or caregiving schedules. It also lets people keep momentum between sessions through homework and focused planning, while retaining the same collaborative process used in office-based care.
