Eliza Marcus

Eliza Marcus is a licensed mental health counselor who has practiced in New York for 30 years. She draws on long experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Her work also includes support around relationships, parenting, and career concerns. She describes her approach as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate.

Clients can expect conversations shaped to their needs. Marcus tailors the topics and steps to each situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She helps people talk through family tensions, work on boundaries, and address patterns like codependency or control issues. Practical skills and real-life problem solving are part of most sessions.

Her background includes long-term practice in community and clinical settings, which informs grounded, straightforward guidance. She often helps people facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and the stress that comes from caregiving or first responder work. She also addresses intimacy concerns, eating issues, and challenges related to ADHD and autism.

Marcus uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered conversation and solution-focused techniques. Those methods guide choice of goals and exercises in session. She works collaboratively with each person to find what helps most.

To begin, readers should know she practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. The first step is a brief matching process that leads to scheduling the first appointment and setting early goals together.

How her approaches translate to online work

Eliza commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasize values-based actions, skill-building, or short-term problem solving. The process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered when you book. Confirming formats before scheduling will make sure they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try different ways of working together and see what best supports daily life and emotional goals.
