About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Elliott is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with 18 years of experience. She focuses on creating an accepting, steady space where people can talk about identity, relationships, and difficult life moments. Jocelyn aims to help people feel understood and find practical ways forward.
She often works with people handling trauma, mood challenges such as depression or bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic, and struggles with addiction and stress.
Background and approach
Jocelyn also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and questions around gender and sexuality. She brings attention to how the body and emotions interact, using somatic ideas alongside other approaches. In sessions she mixes hands-on listening with straightforward tools.
That can mean noticing physical reactions, learning skills for managing strong emotions, or practicing clearer communication. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Jocelyn also helps with family-related issues like parenting stress, family of origin concerns, divorce and separation, and adoption or foster care questions.
She addresses difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and emptiness while helping clients name values and life purpose. Her practice includes mindfulness, narrative work, and techniques from CBT and DBT to build coping skills. People who want a therapist who combines emotional awareness with practical strategies may find her approach useful.
How somatic work and skills translate to online therapy
Somatic-informed therapy helps people notice how stress and strong feelings show up in the body. Online sessions can guide gentle body awareness, breathing practices, and movement cues to help calm physical reactions and reconnect with sensations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with mood shifts by teaching clear steps to change thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interaction. These skills help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options let people meet from home, follow up between sessions with messages, and use tools in day-to-day life. For many, remote care makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice new skills where they live and work.
