About

Hi there, I'm Elaine! I’m Elaine Kovacs, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with experience in providing individual therapy and social work services for over ten years. I have expertise in grief and loss, life transitions, family conflict, anxiety, and mood disorders. I am open to learning and growing alongside the client, and identifying resources that may best provide opportunities for healing. My approach While my approach is centered around the client with a humanistic and existential perspective, I have training in the following approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SBFT), Family Systems Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. More recently, I have an interest in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, as well as work around self-compassion. My focus I work with clients who are 18+ years old, with particular expertise in working with adults in various life transitions of young adulthood, parenthood, and retirement. With a background in medical social work, I also have an interest in working with those who have chronic illnesses or experienced grief and loss. I am also experienced in addressing challenges with substance abuse and family conflict. My communication style I take a relaxed but inquisitive style of communication, fostering both a sense of comfort as well as growth. I will provide feedback and resources, as well as clarity both in what I know, as well as what I don’t. Being in therapy is about fostering an opportunity for self-discovery in a safe environment, and I welcome any guidance about how to best serve you in your journey.
