Eliza Marcus, LMHC

Eliza Marcus is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, and related life challenges. Eliza aims to treat people with respect and compassion and to tailor care to each person's needs.

Eliza uses straightforward conversation to understand what is most pressing. She helps people untangle family and parenting tensions and address relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, work stress, eating concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and solution-focused work. That means sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, clarifying values, and setting small practical goals. Progress is usually a mix of talking, experimenting with new habits, and adjusting strategies to fit real life.

Eliza has spent three decades helping people navigate major life transitions such as divorce, blended family changes, immigration stress, and career shifts. She also has experience with issues like abandonment, codependency, and impulse problems. Those topics are addressed in everyday language with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People who prefer English-only services will find sessions conducted in English. To begin, candidates follow the platform Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How Eliza Uses Practical Therapies Online

Eliza combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce worry and improve mood. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eliza will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods that fit. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and life circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a lighter way to check in or fit a break at work. Chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
